Title:
  Please convert glibmm2.4 for multiarch

Status in “glibmm2.4” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “glibmm2.4” package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Attached is a patch to gtkmm2.4 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. As libglib2.0-dev is not
  marked multi-arch: same, libglibmm-2.4-dev will not currently be
  multi-arch installable, but will immediately become so if
  libglib2.0-dev is converted.

  The most significant blocker 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>.

  For some reason glibmm2.4 isn't listed in that file. However, as the
  rest of the gtkmm stack lists python-visual and subtitleeditor, I
  assume that those reference glibmm2.4 as well. 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.
