Public bug reported: libmirclient-dev makes impossible to install both libsdl2-dev and libsdl2-dev:i386 which is essential for anyone building game related software. Seeing mir not being used at all in any of the official Ubuntu flavors, I find it strange that it was considered an acceptable solution to break a common and important workflow in favor of an experimental display server.
It's probably a minor packaging bug anyway, multi-arch development headers usually don't conflict with each other.
