One should not read that as my rejection of this specific alternative, as I've not decided there yet, but in general I think it's fair game to change our tools to support multiarch. Problem I have is with the timeframe of such a change. While we can change packages.d.o quite quickly given somebody willing to write the patch we can not quickly change the tools in stable. And I really really really do not want to have to wait yet another release cycle. MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
