Bug#700472: Upgrade of the foreign arch libc6 causes service restart



Package: libc6
Version: 2.17-0experimental2
Severity: wishlist

Filing as wishlist, maybe it's minor or even worse for some people.

The postinst script of libc6 checks services that need to be restarted not
taking into account that those services may be of a different arch and so not
using the libc6 being upgraded. That also means when you upgrade both
libc6:amd64 and libc6:i386 you get double restart of all those services.
