Well this has been removed, and now the linker and the dynamic loader both know about /emul/ia32-linux/[usr/]lib, just as they now /lib64 and /usr/lib64 on 32-bit platforms. I guess dpkg-shlibdeps have to know about those paths. Using /etc/ld.so.conf.d for that is messing bi-arch and multi-arch, which are different things. Anyway if you go for reading /etc/ld.so.conf.d, I will ask you to also remove /lib64 /usr/lib64 for coherency between 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. -- .''`.
