Package: libxcomposite-dev
Version: 1:0.4.3-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The amd64 version conflicts with the i386 one which makes it impossible to 
install both. As a result the /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXcomposite.so symbolic 
link is missing so that developping 32bit applications using this library is 
impossible on a 64bit system.

Furthermore this development package does not seem to be multiarch aware as 
there is no Multi-Arch field.

My understanding is that as long as there are no architecture-dependent headers 
there is no obstacle (i.e. no toolchain issue) to tagging the development 
package as 'Multi-Arch: same'. The symbolic link (and any static libraries) 
should be no issue as they are already in the architecture-qualified folders.

A good model for this appears to be the libx11-dev package.
