Alternatively, the multilib packages could just be dropped (at least in
experimental), given that the only package currently Build-Depending on
them in the archive (gdb for its gdb64 package) has now stopped building
the package and I expect should stop Build-Depending on it soon in
experimental. This way we simplify our build processes, and move
further into using proper multiarch.

Attached patch does exactly that (only build tested).

Would be possible to drop these packages now?

There are some ports in the works right now that would probably benefit
from this.
A new release is expected soon, will drop the packages then.
Otherwise I'll drop those anyway in some days.

That's great to hear, thanks!

So after more than a year and a release later, maybe it's a good time to
drop the packages now.

According to popcon, the number of installations of these packages are
in the noise, while libexpat1 is almost 100%.

If you are busy or something I'd like to do an NMU in the next few days.
Since you were OK with that option at the time, I guess that it's still
OK on your side.


Cheers.
