Hi,

this bug is still blocking the ia32-libs-gtk multiarch transition that
really needs to go into wheezy. The only issue with the patch from the
bugreport seems to be a question about making it "m-a: same".

Joss: "m-a: same" allows future packages to specify a dependency of
"bonobo-activation-server:any" for cases where the architecture of
the activation server is irelevant to the depending package. This
feature won't be usable in wheezy. Also, worst case, if it is wrong
then future packages must not use the "*:any" syntax. So this is
benign. Packages must test this works before setting "*:any".

Steve: As author of the patch please consider NMUing this patch so we 
can get ia32-libs-gtk unstuck.
