Hello Hans-J.,
please don’t CC me as I read the list.

Last time you complained that ia32-libs was being deinstalled, now
you don’t want it to be deinstalled?
To make it clear: You do need two versions of some libs (such as
libc6), one for amd64 and one for i386. Previously, ia32-libs
contained all the i386 libs one usually needed. Now you can install
both versions side by side.

Yes it is, as it allows you to update ia32-libs to the new,
transitional package which will then pull in the i386 stuff replacing
the old ia32-libs.
Best,
