Okay.

I no longer use any package which uses liborbit, which makes testing a
bit harder. This is also why I'm a bit reluctant to change the package
at this point of the release cycle.

If there is a realistic chance that ia32-lib(-gtk) will be converted to
multiarch, then I'll try to have a look.

Are there tracking bugs for ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk (or a
corresponding usertag)?

I guess that includes libidl0, a rdep of liborbit2?
