Package: libclang-common-5.0-dev
Version: 1:5.0~+rc3-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

This package depends on various multilib packages (for example on
amd64 these are lib32gcc1, lib32stdc++6 and libc6-i386). We are
supposedly moving away from the monstrosity that is multilib. :)

So, could you either stop linking against those packages, or if that is
not possible or desirable because people for whatever reason are using
that support, then split the multilib libraries (for example the ones
for i386/i686 in the amd64 case) into their own multilib package so that
people that want that stuff can install it, and other people that want
their system unpolluted by that unholiness can stay clean? :)

Thanks,
Guillem
