This is a valid issue but the dpkg/deb backend is not supported for 1.1. This should be a post 1.1 bug.
To clarify, deb/dpkg is known not to work with multilibs.
I'm changing this to a multilib enhancement request. Its known not to work and isn't something we've planned to support at this time.
*** Bug 1739 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Can anyone give me an indication of what work is required here? I'm looking at fixing up and maintaining our Debian packaging support.
Josh: Try and talk to me at some point about this, its probably easier to talk through it.
