Hello Yann,
thanks for your bug report.

Mmmmh, interesting...

Please take into account that multiarch support is a relatively new
development in Debian and that I am unfortunately quite ignorant about
it (I have not yet tried to enable it on any box I administer).

I will have to study and experiment a bit, before I can understand how
apt-listbugs can be more helpful to users that enabled multiarch
support.

Maybe the other co-maintainer of apt-listbugs is more knowledgeable
than me...
Thomas, are you an expert, by chance?

Anyway, as you probably know, Debian testing (wheezy) is currently
frozen and no major behavioral change would be migrated into testing
during a freeze (unless it fixes a release critical bug, but this one
is definitely not RC).
As a consequence, I am afraid that this will have to wait until after
the release of wheezy.
Sorry about that.

Bye, and thanks again for reporting the issue.
