[Pkg-uml-pkgs] Bug#362058: uml-utilities: ships port-helper under /usr/lib64 on amd64

Package: uml-utilities
Version: 20060323-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 9.1.1

uml-utilities goes out of its way to force use of /usr/lib64 on amd64,
which is a big no-no on Debian and clashes with libc6:

> Unpacking replacement libc6 ...
> dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.6-6_amd64.deb (--unpack):
>  trying to overwrite `/usr/lib64', which is also in package uml-utilities

Could you please fix this?

Thanks!
