What would be the > advantage. Compare 'apt-cache depends ia32-libs-i386' with the dependencies of the i386 package. The new ia32-libs (transition package) indirectly (via ia32-libs-i386) depends on *all* 32bit libraries previously contained in ia32-libs. It's possible you don't need them all, and even if you did, the direct dependency is usually better. Consider a case of a 32bit-only application depending only on libsqlite. With the i386 package you would have this: Package: foo:i386 Depends: libsqlite3-0:i386 With the amd64 package you would have this: Package: foo:amd64 Depends: ia32-libs:amd64 Package: ia32-libs:amd64 Depends: ia32-libs-i386:i386 Package: ia32-libs-i386:i386 Depends: libsqlite3-0:i386, [another *116* libraries] Which one do you think is more robust and brings in less dependencies?
