This is actually not correct. gcc-multilib is required even for
compiling with another gcc-X-mutilib compiler as it provides the
/usr/include/linux/asm symlink.
I'll therefore revert the change in the next upload. Feel free to report
bugs against gcc-multilib or gcc-X-multilib if you feel it's provided in
the wrong package.
