Bug#614906: lintian: considers 64-bit libraries in /lib64 on i386 as an error

[Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.0~rc1

Lintian now complains about libraries in /lib64 (but not
/usr/lib64), e.g. for lib64ncurses5 it barfs:

,----
| E: lib64ncurses5: binary-from-other-architecture lib64/libncurses.so.5.7
| N: 
| N:    This ELF binary appears to have been built for an architecture other
| N:    than the one of the binary package being tested. This may occur when a
| N:    pre-built binary is shipped in the package or when an attempt to
| N:    cross-compile didn't work.
| N:    
| N:    Severity: serious, Certainty: possible
| N: 
`----

I could not find anything in the changelog that explains or even
mentions this change (lintian 2.4.3 did not complain).
