 Ok, but why not using usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)?  Your ld.so should
 find the libs and the modules should be found by pango.  What's
 preventing you to use the multiarch pathnames or why are you insisting
 on using /usr/lib32 / the biarch pathnames?

 No, you can by hand...  :)

 Why is it needed?  (What's the rpath pointing to and why is it
 problematic?)
