[Bug 900565] [NEW] Please convert glibmm2.4 for multiarch

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

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.
