Severity: normal

lib64stdc++6 very recently changed from being optional to important and
is therefore now installed by default on all systems by debootstrap.
IMO it is broken to have a 64 bit library installed by default on 32 bit
systems.

<snip from #debian-release>
[16:19:59] <fjp> Anybody know why lib64stdc++6 was changed from prio
optional to important?
[16:21:23] <fjp> This makes it being installed on all systems by default
which IMO should not be needed (and breaks unstable d-i installs as long
as libc6-amd64 is not available)
[23:17:29] <vorlon> fjp: blame jvw, I think :)
[23:17:57] <fjp> vorlon: Should this be reverted?
[23:18:13] <vorlon> fjp: sounds like it to me
[23:18:59] <vorlon> there may be a reason for it, or he may have just
bumped it accidentally when adjusting the priorities of the other gcc-4
packages.
[23:19:38] <fjp> IMO if it needs to be installed by default in some
arches, that should be set in debootstrap in arch specific rule
