Package: libcppunit-dev Version: 1.14.0-3 Severity: normal Dear maintainers,
libcppunit-dev's control file does not currently specify "Multi-Arch: same." I may be missing an important detail, but it seems that it could specify it because the included libraries are installed in the right architecture-dependent folder. The current situation severely hinders the cross-compileability of libcppunit. For example, when trying to cross-compile for arm64, an apt-get install libcppunit-dev:arm64 will uninstall libcppunit-dev:amd64 (and libcppunit-1.x:amd64). (Not using a separate sysroot for the cross-compilation and instead installing other-architectural build dependencies on the host is a bit yucky-ish, of course, but besides the point.) I have verified that the libcppunit packages in Buster, Bullseye, Sid lack a "Multi-Arch: same". Is this an omission, or am I simply missing a crucial piece on why it cannot apply? Thanks a lot for your attention.
