Multiarch will almost certainly not be supported in etch. A biarch 
fallback solution for some core libraries would of course be nice, 
but fear that it will not be easy to get this into etch either.

No, I am not working on multiarch because I am mainly interested in
a clean 64-bit user space. However, the packages from the native ppc64
archive will be necessary for a multiarch approach for powerpc.
