What is amd-app?  It's not in the debian archive from what I can tell.
 Did you get that package from amd or another distro?  I'm not sure
whether we need to handle such a case since that's not actualy in the
archive.

This will come for free once multi-arch is ready, but we need a dpkg
release that supports that, and that seems to be really stalled.  So,
I don't think we want to spend any time on this issue.  We'll be
removing the glx-ia32 and whatnot too once that works.
