But this wasn't it. :) Pre-Depends changes nothing. :(

mrvn@frosties:~% dpkg -S /usr/lib32
ia32-libs: /usr/lib32
mrvn@frosties:~% ls -lh /usr/lib32
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 24 May  8 20:01 /usr/lib32 -> /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/


The file should end up in /emul even if your version doesn't have it
there. But depending in what order packages are unpacked that happens
or not for some versions.

I think the only working thing will be to add tests in postinst that
corrects this issue in ia32-libs and ia32-libc6 as well as those
already in lib32gcc1.
