[Bug 902899] Re: Please convert cairomm to multiarch

[Daniel Holbach]

Thanks for your work on this. I took the liberty to update debian/compat
to 9 - AFAIU http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation and
debhelper(7) that should be a good idea - let me know if you left it out
intentionally.

Title:
  Please convert cairomm to multiarch

Status in “cairomm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “cairomm” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Attached is a patch to cairomm which transitions it to use multiarch
  library paths.

  Since libcairomm-1.0-dev contains no build-time-generated include
  files or arch-dependent scripts/executables, it can be safely marked
  as Multi-Arch: same, so this patch does so. Because many of its direct
  and indirect dependencies have not yet been transitioned for
  multiarch, libcairomm-1.0-dev will not currently be multiarch co-
  installable. This is fine, though, and if all of the dependencies were
  ever to be transitioned for multiarch, the libcairomm -dev package
  would immediately become multiarch co-installable.

  Typically the biggest outstanding blocker to multiarch transitions is
  .la files with non-empty dependency_libs lines. However, I checked all
  files listed in http://lintian.ubuntuwire.org/tags/non-empty-
  dependency_libs-in-la-file.html (http://paste.ubuntu.com/766579/) and
  cairomm isn't listed anywhere, so this transition should be safe now
  by that metric.
