Well the trick is apt on suse x86_64 works ok for their implementation
of multilib - b/c suse tags the 32bit and 64bit packages differently.

I don't have a problem with it - it's just not something immediately on
my radar. However, if you'd like to work on something like that - I can
point you in the right direction for it. It's actually easier to do now
than it was a few months ago.

Could you make my day job a little less demanding? That'd make things
happen, for me, faster. :)
