Woohoo!

Sure, I'll file a request against APT.
What exactly do we want? I'm not familiar with APT configurations.

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).
