Sorry, should have been specific and said ia32-libs-gtk.
And yes, orbit2 also isn't converted and you could set your bug as being
blocked by it.
But the orbit2 includes a patch so you can build a local multiarch
orbit2 package and test a multiarch libbonobo. That way they can go in
close together. No need to wait with fixing libbonobo till orbit2 is
fixed in the archive.
Ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk have to go multiarch in wheezy or be
removed. So there is a high pressure to fix the remaining 10 out of ~200
packages that block this. Orbit2 will probably be NMUed this weekend
given how long the patch has been sitting in the BTS.
