People really do seem to confuse this. ia32-apt-get is not an
alternative to multiarch. Never has been, never will be.

It is the ugly hack that keeps existing things running till mutliarch
fixes the problem.


The only thing ia32-apt-get is supposed to fix is ia32-libs and
ia32-libs-gtk unmaintainability and security bugs.
