It will have it's own native package which I assume would install :) I'm not sure I've understood the question, but if you look at the available precise apps for any arch [1], the package 'irukandji' is multiarch for precise and oneiric, but has i386 and amd64 builds for natty and maverick. Does that make more sense?
