Sorry for the delay, I forgot I was going to do this...

I can indeed reproduce this bug on a pure wheezy->jessie upgrade, so I
think this is RC (but if the fglrx-driver maintainers want to downgrade
it to non-RC after reading the steps to reproduce, that's fine).

To reproduce:

* Install wheezy. I used a chroot produced by debootstrap, but a chroot
  produced by cdebootstrap is probably better, because it will have
  the cdebootstrap policy-rc.d helper. I found that I needed /proc
  to be mounted in order to have packages install correctly.

* dpkg --add-architecture i386

* Add contrib and non-free to sources.list

* apt-get update

* apt-get install fglrx-driver:amd64 libgl1-fglrx-glx:i386 \
  libgl1-fglrx-glx:amd64

  (A possible real-world use-case for this situation: "I have AMD hardware,
  openarena:amd64, and a Windows game played via wine:i386, and I want both
  games to be fast".)

* (Now is a good time to unmount /proc, copy the chroot and remount /proc,
  to speed up later testing)

* Add jessie sources to sources.list

* apt-get dist-upgrade

Expected result: everything upgrades OK

Actual result: see log below

This is an apt bug (#740843, already fixed in jessie) but for upgrades from
wheezy to jessie with wheezy's apt to be fully functional, you will need to
work around it in fglrx-driver/jessie. I proposed two patches on
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=740843#19>
either of which works around the apt bug. Please choose whichever
you think is more correct, discussing with the apt maintainers if necessary;
if I was the maintainer, I'd go for the "+smcv.dep" version, which is what
we applied in SteamOS.

Regards,
    S
