Bug#259302: base-files: Support for amd64. (fwd)
Hello.
I have received the following bug report. Would you please be so kind
to provide some rationale for it? Specifically:
What are these symlinks for?
Exactly what software or package uses them?
Are they really mandatory or optional?
What happens if they do not exist?
Why do you think base-files should care about these symlinks and not,
for example, libc6 or base-config?
Should these symlinks really be recreated every time the package containing
them is upgraded, or should the user have the freedom to remove them?

Could you please apply the attached patch? It adds the symlinks
for lib64 to the lib64 dir used on amd64.
