I did speak with Martin Zobel at Debconf on how to get there, having two proposals:
- have an inplace-transition building required library packages for an
upgrade as biarch packages and continue to use the current sparc name.
This would mean that many packages needs to be modified. Is it really
worth the work needed if we consider the availability of multiarch in
the next time?
you'll end up modifying a different set of packages for the new
architecture name in control and rules files. I don't know if this is
less or more work.
If I understand this correctly, this would need the modification off all
library packages to implement biarch semantic.
