That was my reasoning also. This is much easier to implement and
practically already done.

Configuration item to always show the ':<arch>' bit. When enabled you
will have both ':NATIVE' and ':all' displayed.
Ideally, such an option will be implemented in APT and so also
respected by apt-get and others.

Bug description:
TEST CASE:
1. Enable multiarch (should be automatic on new oneiric systems)
2. Install an i386 package on amd64 (like flashplugin-installer:i386)
3. Mark something with a lot of dependencies for installation
4. On the confirmation screen, try to remove on of the dependencies (aptitude will now fail to perform upgrades when there's a package conflict w/out removing the i386 libs)
This renders aptitude painful on a multiarch enabled system (default
in oneiric).
