If a package migrates from non-multiarch to multi-arch, that means
that the location of the conffiledb for the package would change, right?
If so, then I think we'd need to either ensure that the implementation
can support it[1], or just be lazy and always have the arch[2].
sean
[1] checking the multi-arch status of the package's previous version to
determine the conffiledb path at appropriate points in the code,
assuming that can be done.
[2] assuming i read the spec correctly you can't have two copies of an
arch:all package installed.
