Not in my opinion. Works perfectly here.

Lets see:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/i/ia32-libs-tools.html

RC bugs: 1

#535486 ia32-libs breaks multiarch buildd and adds useless dependency

The fix for this is for fglrx to stop building fglrx-glx-ia32 and
letting ia32-apt-get provide the 32bit fglrx-grl package from i386
instead. Purely a transitional issue.

It doesn't even break the buildd. It just takes really long to install
if you don't have a strong enough source for entropy.

I would settle for one good one. :)
