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.
