[Bug 900421] [NEW] Please convert libsigc++-2.0 for multiarch

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Evan Broder (broder):

Attached is a patch to libsigc++-2.0 which transitions it to use
multiarch library paths.

The patch also marks the -dev package as multi-arch: same, which is safe
as none of the header files are generated at build time, so they should
be identical across architectures.

The most significant blocked to converting packages to multiarch is the
presence of .la files which reference a library in its dependency_libs
line. Debian has made cleaning up these .la files a release goal, and is
tracking the presence of such problematic .la files at
<http://release.debian.org/~aba/la/current.txt>.

According to that list, the two packages blocking libsigc++-2.0's
transition are python-visual and subtitleeditor. subtitleeditor has
already been fixed and both Debian and Ubuntu, and I uploaded a fix for
python-visual a few days ago, so by that metric this conversion should
be safe.
