[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#736279: virtualbox-guest-x11: No support for 32-bit OpenGL applications in 64-bit guest

[Jo Shields]

Package: virtualbox-guest-x11
Version: 4.2.16-dfsg-3~bpo70+1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

It is not uncommon for ISV OpenGL applications (e.g. games) to be distributed
only as i386 binaries. VirtualBox's packaging in Debian does not support this -
the video driver is mixed in with a bunch of unrelated utilities and does not
install required pieces like VBoxOGL.so into multiarch-capable locations.

Please consider splitting the basic components out and using multiarch paths,
allowing for 32-bit applications to be accelerated in a 64-bit guest.
