These bugs are about the /emul/ia32-linux transition, which moves files
from the non-standard path /emul/ia32-linux to a more standard one 
/lib32 (same as on Ubuntu).

The files that where previously in /emul/ia32-linux/lib should be moved
in /lib32, and the ones in /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib in /usr/lib32. The
package build has to be changed in order to get thoses files in the
right place. Then to make sure the upgrade happens smoothly, the
packages moving their files should have in debian/control a "Breaks:"
field like this one:

	Conflicts: libc6-i386 (<= 2.9-18)
