I managed to rebuild aptitude 0.6.6-1 (from debian unstable). This also
required rebuilding libgtest-dev and google-mock from debian unstable.
Once installed, I can confirm that this is definitely an improvement:
i386 packages are labelled as package:i386. aptitude still wants to
remove all the :i386 packages whenever there is any sort of conflict.

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).
