I'm currently going through some old bug reports and stumbled upon this
one. I'm wondering if there's still something left to do here. All the
DRI modules seem to be in the multi arch path nowadays and #664487 has
been fixed two years ago.

Since there doesn't appear to be a bug present anymore I'm leaning
towards closing the bug. What do you think?

Cheers
