Hi, what can be done if the maintainer scripts of a package must behave differently when unpacking the i386 deb on i386 or the i386 deb on amd64?
For example 32bit fglrx-glx needs to divert /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 on i386 but /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2 on amd64. Other examples would be packages that scan for plugins in their postinst to generate a list of them. Pango and gtk used to do that. Even if they are changed the multiarch library dirs they should probably continue to scan the old plugin dirs for backward compatibility. So would it make sense to allow architecture specific maintainer scripts? Back to the fglrx-glx example the control.tar.gz could contain: preinst-amd64 - use when configuring on amd64 preinst - use otherwise I choose '-' so it doesn't collide with debhelpers preinst.amd64 source files.
