Bug#642415: please add multi-arch support for libgnome

[Riku Voipio]

Package: libgnome
Version: 2.32.1-1
Severity: wishlist
User: debian-dpkg at lists.debian.org
Usertags: multiarch

Hi,

The following patch converts libgnome to multiarch directories and adds
needed Multi-Arch: stanzas to control file. gnome-open binary is split to
a separate package (libgnome2-bin) as exacutable binaries can't be multiarch
(at least for now).

The attached patch probably brakes bonobo features of libgnome, unless libbonobo 
is converted too. In fact, so far the patch has only been tested that the
library is installed to the correct place for cross-compiling firefox.

Hence, I haven't set the "Patch" tag for this bug. The patch is ment for
discussion rather than to be applied as is.
