Re: Specifying ia32-libs in control when on a 64 bit Debian/Ubuntu?
Hi,
debian-dpkg is not for packaging questions it's for dpkg's development.
You should have asked on debian-mentors@lists.debian.org. Please follow up
there if needed.

AFAIR you use ${shlibs:Depends} and you let dpkg-shlibdeps compute the
dependency.
But if you end up with ia32-libs as dependency on amd64 it simply means
that you packaged a software compiled for i386...
