Hi,

I uploaded ia32-libs to DELAYED/2-days with the following changelog:

ia32-libs (20100905) unstable; urgency=low

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Fix ld-linux.so.2 symlink on ia64.  (Closes: #563402)
  * Update packages (with the versions of squeeze, not sid).
  * Add libc-bin to get ldd on ia64.
  * Fix libpulse-simple.so, libpng.so, libpng12.so and libpulse.so
    symlinks to not be dangling with the new libraries.
  * Remove udev scripts installed by sane.
  * Include libnss3-1d, libnspr4-0d, libcurl3, libssh2-1 and libidn11.
    (Closes: #499043)
  * Bump libraries:
    - odbcinst1debian1 -> odbcinst1debian2 (Needed by unixodbc.)
    - libdirectfb-1.2-0 -> libdirectfb-1.2-9 (Needed by libsdl1.2debian-alsa.)
  * Dump libraries:
    - libxtrap6 (No longer available, not even a newer ABI.)
  * Bump shlibs version from 20080808 (sic!) to 20100905.
  * Declare `Conflicts' against ia32-libs-core on ia64.  It seems that
    the intention was to move libraries there, which this upload does
    not accommodate yet.  (Despite ia32-libs-core anticipating it by
    using a `Breaks' on a non-existent version.)
  * Include libavahi-client3, libavahi-common3, libdb4.8, libdrm-intel1,
    libdrm-radeon1, libgdbm3, libsndfile1, libsqlite3-0, libsysfs2,
    libts-0.0-0 and libwrap0 to satisfy runtime linking dependencies.

Debdiff is available on [1].

It might temporarily break ia32-libs-core on ia64, but I consider this
broken already, as it `Breaks' on a non-existant version of ia32-libs,
which means that it's not coinstallable with it.

#563402 is of RC severity.  The bug handling of #499043 was less than stellar
and people are now using bartm's workaround to build their own kind of
ia32-libs packages for those five libs.[2]

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern

[2] I do agree that the initial severity was inflated, but the ignorance
    that followed was unhelpful, given that ia32-libs' main use is
    non-free anyway.
