See > https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation That wiki page is what I consulted, and I am not convinced: The passage I found¹ talks about flagging packages where "one copy of this package, of any architecture, is sufficient to satisfy the needs of the runtime library package of every architecture" - and exemplifies with -data packages. I do not recognize -tools style packages as fitting that description. Please try harder to convince me (and no: stating "of course" is *not* helpful, quite the contrary). - Jonas ¹ https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation#Multi-Arch:_foreign_support_packages -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
