Hi,

I'm interested in getting multi-arch support for this package too.

A couple of things:
 * I'm using $(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) in debian/control instead of just /*/
- I *think* that's what's recommended
 * Changed depends on cpp to cpp:any due to (discussion from #ubuntu-devel):

<TREllis> I'm trying to multi-arch libidl0, it depends on cpp, which
means the i386 package still won't install on amd64, needs cpp:i386...
does that mean cpp needs multi-arching?
<cjwatson> TREllis: Multi-Arch: foreign on cpp *might* be the right
thing if the version from another architecture will work; but I would
have thought that cpp has architecture-specific defaults in it ...
<cjwatson> TREllis: we don't have provision for real multi-arch of
binaries yet
<TREllis> cjwatson: right I thought that might be the case. That's one
of my blockers at the moment whilst trying to fix a chain of multi-arch
dependancies
...
<slangasek> cjwatson, TREllis: cpp is already marked Multi-Arch:
allowed; packages that need to be able to depend on a foreign-arch
version of cpp need to be updated to depend on cpp:any
<slangasek> TREllis: because it's not correct to say that a cpp package
of any architecture will satisfy the dependency on cpp for a package of
any other architecture, because of the per-arch defaults cjwatson mentions.

There is a bug open for this in Ubuntu too: http://pad.lv/911199
