Package: lintian Severity: important while getting python3.3 ready for multiarch, I noticed a lot of false positives: E: libpython3.3-dev: arch-dependent-file-not-in-arch-specific-directory usr/lib/python3.3/config-3.3m-x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.3m-pic.a So maybe better check if the path either contains the multiarch name or the debian architecture name.
