Note that there are a number of NMUs in the delayed queue so the list
looks longer than it actualy is.

Note that libidl0 does not need to be multiarch for liborbit2 to be
multiarch unless I'm mistaken. Libbonobo only has this requirement
because it provides a plugin for orbit2 and orbit2 has to learn to
search for plugins in the multiarch dir before libbonobo can move its
plugin there.
