ah yes.

I figured you would have something like that in mind. A tool in $PATH
would still be handy though -- Sometimes I update the native amd64 side
of things and aptitude wants to remove ia32-* +openoffice etc, normally
because libc6 has been updated but ia32-libc6 hasn't caught up yet. So I
have to update the amd64-archive by hand.

That would be cool.
