At the moment, upstart package is cross-compilable and for it to stay cross-compilable it's build-dependencies should be installable on the host, or ideally co-installable for multiple architectures. Shipping libcgmanager.so.0 in cgmanager package prevents that, since installing cgmanager-dev would install foreign arch cgmanager potentially nuking your init from under ones feet if one is running upstart as pid 1. Hence from upstart/lxc/systemd-shim packaging point of view, I request that in debian libcgmanager0 & libcgmanager-dev [*] are present, and are Architecture:any and Multi-Arch:same. An example of this can be found in the current Ubuntu packaging, but can be implemented otherwise. (this way cgamanger:native can continue to function, whilst for example libcgmanager-dev:armhf can be used for cross-compilation). If believe I've pointed that out as well in my first review of Daniel's packaging. Whilst it may appear as micro-packaging, it is necessary for cross-compilation purposes & to run multiarch binaries (e.g. i386 binaries that link against libcgmanager0 on amd64) both of which have been and/or are ongoing Debian Release goals.
