That's funny because I just tried yesterday and filed [1] to see what
developers think.
They are aware of the issue but will need some time to fix it.

What I discovered is that installing gcc:i386 on amd64 doesn't mean what
we think.
It replaces the (amd64) gcc and wants to remove gcc and build-esential
(and others).
What we want is gcc-multilib which provides libc6-dev-i386.
The other way also exists with libc6-dev-amd64:i386 (compiling programs
targeting amd64 from a i386 computer)

For the other issues, I guess we'll have to file as many bug as packages
which are not multiarch-able.
(I don't know how to say it, hope you get the idea)


Yes, this would be prudent. Tag them multiarch too. It's the next phase of the multiarch transition (there are a few lingering packages that aren't properly multiarch as well.

It's a good chunk of work, as we have to go package by package and identify if they:

1) Have architecture-specific strings in the -dev stuff
2) Move them into arch-specific folders when appropriate
3) Move files that aren't arch-specific into -common packages that are arch:all
4) Tag the resulting package multiarch: same
5) Send changes back to Debian (which is still in the multiarch bronze age)

Thanks,
Scott Ritchie
