So what you seem to say is: If you copy the libc6 or static libraries
between distributions you deserve to fail. Thats fine if you say it
straight out.
Does the same apply to libX11. Or can we do the compile for lib64, use
lib trick there as it is not frozen?
As for after etch I hope binutils will add the multiarch patch and
then we can finaly start moving stuff there as was planed for after
sarge.

PS: Should the bug be retitled "Note FHS exception/deviation for amd64
in release notes"?
