I don't think the two proposed debdiffs here are correct for
implementing multi-arch for gnome-keyring. While the plug-ins for gnome-
keyring itself, and the pam module, could be built as multi-arch, it
isn't necessary to do so. In fact, building the gnome-keyring plug-ins
(currently in usr/lib/gnome-keyring/devel/*.so) into a Multi-Arch: same
package, will result in a broken install if the :i386 package is
installed on an x86_64 system, for example, as the gnome-keyring binary
package is marked as foreign. Also, there are many non-arch-dependent
files left in the gnome-keyring package, which are not installed in
arch-dependent directories, resulting in file conflicts between the i386
and x86_64 versions of the package.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Several applications are relying on this package as seen in comments 5 and 6.

  [Test case]
  Attempt to install both i386/amd64 versions and preferably verify if the 
reported applications in this bug are able to run successfully

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal, several rdepends build testing have been completed successfully and 
nothing in the keyring code is attempting to dlopen any hardcoded library paths.

  gnome-keyring is still installing libraries to /usr/lib instead of the
  multarch compatible /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) directory. The
  attached patch does the conversion.
