So far I only found 3 multiarch related maintainer script problems in wheezy: #706167: qimhangul-qt4: improper alternative handling in M-A:same package #706185: libpam-ldap: purging one architecture of this M-A:same package removes configuration still needed by the other architectures #706182: libnss-ldap: purging deletes shared config file /etc/libnss-ldap.conf still in use by other architectures A proper solution for all these needs to be found and multiarch documentation should be enhanced to clarify how (not) to handle such things in maintainer scripts of M-A: same packages These bugs were tagged wheezy-can-defer and wheezy-ignore for now, but we should try to find a solution for wheezy r1.
