 Looks like an ubuntuisim. needed inderectly for animated startup graphics,
 sigh. No hurry on debian side then it seems.

libdrm-intel now depends on libpciaccess, plymouth depends on
libdrm-intel, and so on.

The -dev package shouldn't be marked as multiarch; the i386 package is
not parallel installable with the amd64 package as they both
ship /usr/include.  In general, my understanding is that -dev packages
should not be multiarched (yet).

I should apparently also read Debian bug reports more often.  I'd just
pushed a dh7 cleanup branch which also adds multiarch to the
debian-experimental git branch before reading this mail.

It is ok to incude same files in multiarch coinstallable packages, as long as
they are identical on all archictectures. Think 
/usr/share/doc/libpciaccess0/copyright
for example. Hence all -dev packages where headers are same on all architectures
are safe for multiarch.

Yeah.  I was confused by the documentation on
wiki.debian.org/MultiArch/Implementation which said policy forbids -dev
packages from being marked as Multi-Arch: same.  As you say, that only
applies where the contents of headers change across architectures.  I've
updated that documentation to hopefully be clearer.

Hi,

Any updates here? As a udev reverse dependency this is quite important
for earlt multi-arch conversion.

It'll probably happen on the next upload, but I'm not going to rush
that.  (What does this have to do with udev?)

Cheers,
