I merged this into lp:~mvo/apt/convert-to-multiarch-lib-thanks-colin and it looks fine (had to tweak it a tiny bit though based on the observations from Julian and from a bzr-buildpackage run that did not work out of the box). > It's possible that libapt-pkg-dev can also be marked Multi-Arch: same as > a result of this patch; I haven't checked whether the header files are > reliably identical across architectures.

I think this is the case, I can't see anything that is dynamically generated here. > I did try building python-apt against this, but I can't find a tree that > supports the current apt ABI; so perhaps you could test this to make > sure that I haven't broken the ability to link against libapt-pkg? There is indeed some flux here, my lp:~mvo/python-apt/mvo tree will build against both unstable and experimental. Python-apt keeps building and working on my system. Thanks!
