[Pkg-ime-devel] Bug#651488: Bug#651488: support Multi-Arch

[Osamu Aoki]

Hi,

Thanks for the patch.  Before uploading package with your patch, I have
few things which I like you to help me.

I am still not clear on how to make package for full Multi-Arch support.

This is serious redoing of autotools thingy.  Great.

I have 3 questions:

#Q1:

I am wondering about
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=558568
This requests autoreconf.
Does this patch address to fix this bug too?

#Q2:
Where is the howto for all these complicated packaging tricks.


#Q3 do we need to hardcode exact $DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH as below.  What is
the negative of just using * for those location as below?
