Hi guys,

Attached is a patch to update policy's FHS exception to reflect the current
consensus among the gcc, eglibc, and dpkg maintainers around the paths to
use for implementation and the interface packages should use to query these
paths.

Cc:ing the respective maintainer mailing lists for sign-off.

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] Fix multiarch FHS exception for i386 in light of recent discussions

The current value of DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE on i386 is unsuitable for
cross-distro standardization, because it varies according to the default CPU
target of the toolchain.  Discussion with the toolchain and dpkg maintainers
yielded an alternative solution, a new dpkg-architecture variable
DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH which is committed to dpkg upstream in commit
af3153d09aa3ed5597d6d415e5ab7cc3ba972e7c and will be included in the upload
of dpkg 1.16.0.  Update Policy to document this new requirement for
multiarch.

     Seconded: Giacomo A. Catenazzi <cate@debian.org>
     Closes: #488214
   * Be more verbose in defining the build architecture and the host
     architecture and consistently refer to architecture rather than
     machine.  (Closes: #591857)
   * Correct the name of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard in the package
     description.  Patch from Christoph Anton Mitterer.  (Closes: #590696)
   * Use the word "implemented" to describe required targets in
     debian/rules, which is clearer about allowing wildcard rules.  List
     the required rules in their own paragraph rather than with the
     paragraph discussing non-interactivity, and explicitly mark all rules
     as either required or optional.  (Closes: #536790)
   * Update the ldconfig footnote listing the /etc/ld.so.conf directories
     to remove the libc5 compatibility directories and mention the
     multiarch triplet directories.  Based on a patch by Charles Plessy.
     (Closes: #597074)
   * Add introductory paragraphs for each archive area explaining briefly
     the purpose of that archive area.  Based on a proposal by CJ
     Fearnley.  (Closes: #594542)
   * Change all non-historical references to Debian GNU/Linux to simply
     Debian since Debian now includes FreeBSD-based architectures.  Patch
     from Guillem Jover.  (Closes: #594656)
   * Remove references to the obsolete debmake package.
   * Update the list of Policy maintainers.
   * Wrap Uploaders in debian/control.
   * Move Build-Depends-Indep to Build-Depends (there's no reason to use
     -Indep in a package that builds only architecture-independent binary
     packages), wrap it, and remove version restrictions that are older
     than the version in oldstable.
   * Add emacs23 to the build dependencies and remove the files generated
     from org source from the revision control repository.  Build and clean
     files from org source unconditionally.  Add Process.{txt,html} to the
     list of files generated from org source.  (Closes: #594274)
   * Fix URLs under www.freedesktop.org to avoid permanent redirects.
     Thanks, David Prévot.  (Closes: #606869)
   * Add a cross-reference to the Pre-Depends requirement in 3.5 to section
     7.2 where Pre-Depends is defined.  Thanks, Mattias Ellert and Jonathan
     Nieder.  (Closes: #599944)
   * Include the new (optional) copyright format that was drafted as DEP-5.
     This is not yet a final version; that's expected to come in the
     3.9.3.0 release.  Thanks to all the DEP-5 contributors and to Lars
     Wirzenius and Charles Plessy for the integration into the Policy
     package.  (Closes: #609160)
