Yes, I think that would make the problem clear (I showed the new error
message to a few people, and they were able to figure out 32/64 bit
problems). Thanks,

Note: libraries are not searched in other binary packages that do not have any
shlibs or symbols file.
To help dpkg-shlibdeps find private libraries, you might need to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
dh_shlibdeps: command returned error code 512
make: *** [binary-predeb-IMPL/rubiks] Error 1
If libc6-i386 is installed, dpkg-dhlibdeps terminates without errors, and
ldd will correctly claim the binary was linked against /lib32/libc.so.6.
I realize that this represents a bug in the package, but it'd be nice if
dpkg-shlibdeps provided a better error message in this case.
Would including the format of the binary in the error message be enough in
your opinion?
The parenthesis would become (ELF format: 'elf32-i386'; RPATH: '')
