Ok, if I understood correctly, changes in comparison with what we have now
are:

 - A more standarised pathset, instead of just /emul/ia32-linux.  According to
   http://wiki.debian.org/toolchain-multiarch, there are plans to make the
   toolchain aware of the new paths.  Sounds a lot like post-etch, but AFAIK
   we can do the same without it (by using --libdir at build time, and adequate
   /etc/ld.so.conf at runtime)

 - dpkg / dak / katie major rework (I haven't read in-depth, but I assume the
   point is using the same ia32 code from the i386 port without compiling it
   separately.  Definitely post-etch..)

Did I miss something?  Is someone able to guess which of them is Daniel
concerned with?
