Package: fakeroot
Version: 1.16-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

when using fakeroot (and fakechroot) to execute foreign binaries with
qemu user mode emulation, a foreign libfakeroot-sysv.so is required as
well.

multiarch would be an easy way to install such a foreign shared library,
given that additionally to the original fakeroot package (containing the
/usr/bin scripts and manpages and by that being Architecture: all) a
libfakeroot package is created (containing the shared library only and
marked as Multi-Arch: same)

making fakeroot multiarch would also remove all of the mess that is
currently going on in debian/rules which does lib32 and lib64 builds.

I can prepare a patch for you that converts fakeroot to multiarch if you
like/want me to and dont have time?

making fakeroot multiarch would also solve #624724

cheers, josch
