Title:
  Wish: Support user in selecting correct arch package

Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 11.10 x64, aptitude's GUI shows most packages "twice", while
  actually on entry represents the x64 and one the IA32 architecture
  package. There's no indication in the package list which is which,
  however, which makes software administration much more confusing than
  necessary...

  Additionally, aptitude itself sometimes even seems to become confused
  because of "duplicate" packages during dependency resolution which
  makes aptitude hardly usable at all to resolve conflicts, but I'll
  report a separate bug about this as soon as it happens again.
