This lead to apt wanting: 35 upgraded, 197 newly installed, 1 to remove and 161 not upgraded. Need to get 124 MB of archives.
So, which one was to remove? Everything else about this is fine, right?
I also ended up with debconf prompts for setting up
lib{nss,pam}-ldap:i386, as the packages weren't installed on amd64 (only
libldap-2.4-2 was present beforehand). I do wonder if these might
confuse users, although I'm not sure if there's a way to avoid them.
I also think this is a problem. I think these prompts are a greater hassle that having to install the libraries manually. I also think that the majority of ia32-libs users will not need them and that the fraction actually needing them will have above average experience. I suggest removing them from the dependency list or putting them into Suggests. (I have not checked if ia32-libs would then still indirectly depend on them though.)
