Bug#854965: clang-4.0: Pulls 64-bit libs on i386 system

The Debian Policy in section 3.5 says "Every package must specify the
dependency information about other packages that are required for the
first to work correctly."  It can be that the sentence is more about
depending on needed packages rather than about not depending on
unnecessary ones, but honestly I would still consider too wide
dependencies as a serious bug. However feel free lower the severity if
you disagree.

Anyway in my opinion the 64-bit libraries are not needed for clang to
work correctly on i386. I can see that the libclang-common-dev package
started providing some x86_64 libs, and dpkg-shlibdeps added dependences
that were necessary for those libs; but I am really in doubt if clang
will ever use those libs in normal usage, so maybe there is some
packaging error somewhere? However if this was intentional for any
reason, it would be great if you could consider making the dev package
Multi-Arch:same instead to get rid of those strange 64-bit libs dependences.
