Bug#535645: I strongly suggest...
Dear ctte,
We, the debian amd64 users should be able to pick our own poison, I really prefer to have ia32-libs-tools because this work far more close to debian way of package manage, the ia32-libs is an incomplete lazy solution with a huge package that needs the maintainer to update a small part of it (any library in the bundle) exposing us to security risks by example, any way, the work done by Goswin has been proved and is working obviously needs maintain to being better but Goswin is doing a great job.
Why loose a great package that's helps to use practically any ia32 program just by a political reason?
The ftpmaster should complain about the package, even moving it to experimental, but not, by any reason only remove it...
And finally if my memory is not failing Goswin was the maintainer of ia32-libs and work in a better solution...
ia32-libs-tools is a great tool and I hope we can get it back...
