Source: libcereal
Version: 1.1.2-3
User: debian-arm at lists.debian.org
Usertags: arm64

Thanks for applying the upstream patch that fixes what appeared to be
a problem for architectures with unsigned plain char.

Version 1.1.2-3 builds on arm64 if you remove the Build-Depends on
g++-multilib. The same is likely to be true for other architectures
for which g++-multilib does not exist.

You should probably check that g++-multilib really is required
on amd64, i386, and so on. Perhaps there is a standard way of asking
for g++-multilib "where applicable". If not, presumably you'll just
have to list the applicable architectures in debian/control. Thanks.
