[Bug 904486] [NEW] UI does not show multi-arch packages well

[Robert Collins]

Public bug reported:

I had a situation where an upgrade to flashplugin-installer managed to
depend on qdbus (same arch) for some reason, but qdbus:i386 was already
installed.

The UI showed
d qdus
I qdbus

with versions etc, but no indication that there was multi-arch at play.
I expect this to confuse more folk than just I :)
