Hi Gary. I'm CC'ing to a list where some Debian guys talk about packaging=20
KDE. ;-)

I've never built a multibinary package, but AFAIK, yes. Take a look at the=
=20
manual page of dh_install.

No. But if there is a lot of platform independent data (e.g., files=20
in /usr/share), you can consider splitting the package in foo and foo-data=
=20
(or foo-common). This way, foo can be 'architecture: any', and foo-data=20
'architecture: all', and a bit of space can be saved.

Best regards.
