The multiarch branch seems pretty stable now, passing all but some very
exotic upgrade scenarios in piuparts.

As said before, I only tested the installation and upgrade paths, not
actually using the new things.

Anyway, I'd suggest to upload it to experimental (with a trip through
NEW) and test it there before merging the branch back into trunk and
uploading into unstable.

I also uploaded glx-alternatives 0.1.92 to experimental yesterday - this
avoids the diversion of libglx.so by putting the slave alternative
earlier in the search path. It would be nice if this could be tested, too.

I'll be offline over the weekend starting late afternoon today ...

PS: about the 64-on-32 patch: we can have someone test it with the
version going into experimental - and drop it before going to unstable
if it proves as not working. (And the bug should be set to wishlist,
tagged upstream+wontfix and retitled like "fglrx does not support 64bit
kernel with 32bit userspace" and *not* closed.) But then again, ia32
libGL exists and is functional, so it can't be too incompatible.
