Continuous Multi-Arch fixes for Ubuntu Precise (12.04)
As a result of the cross buildd work done during 12.02, we now know properly what packages are currently failing when trying to cross build packages using multi-arch.
This blueprint is for the continuous work on fixing the packages to finally have a good cross-build compatible list, based on Ubuntu Precise.
