Bug#341788: libg2c0-dev: includes 32-bit compatibility libraries in pure 64-bit amd64 installation
Package: libg2c0-dev
Version: 1:3.4.5-1
Severity: normal
Out of the 905 packages on my pure 64-bit amd64 debian sid machine,
only this one and fakeroot put any files in /emul/ia32-linux/ .
For general cleanliness and possible improved security, I don't
want any 32-bit compatibility libraries on this machine. Hence
the "pure" in my machine description.
I'm not opposed to having 32-bit libraries built for 64-bit machines,
but they should be somehow separated and optional (even "suggested"),
since many people _do_ want to run 32-bit code on their 64-bit
processors. I happen to not be one one of them.
This bug is effectively a followup to #341147, indicatating
that I'm not happy with the solution they found.
