ia32-libs has to be changed anyway because it currently provides its
own copy of a 32-bit libc which will conflict with the new libc6-i386.

It would be easy to change ia32-libs to use (/usr)/lib32 instead of
/emul/ia32-linux because the ia32-libs package already has a switch 
to choose between the two directories.

Most of the other packages are from gcc-4.0 which also has a 
simple switch that chooses between the ugly /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib
and /usr/lib32.
