So when I install iceweasel 32bit on amd64 (for stupid plugins) I will
have no copyright, changelog nor license? I doubt that would be legal.
Even for libaries there is no garanty that the native flavour of a
library will be present when another architectures flavour is
installed.
If a user wants to skip them that is their problem but Debian shipping
a dpkg that skips them allways or by default would be problematic.
Can you give me an url for Tollefs work? Maybe that can be used to
rename by default.
