Comment 29 for bug 932860

> If you're going to make it use just one, then, which package does it go in.

The same file goes in both packages. This is the simplest change; since both packages were exporting the same shared variable anyway, it doesn't matter that the same script will be run twice.

This doesn't matter. We have only one environment variable we're setting, so if we have any instances of the package installed we should set it.

$ dpkg-query --showformat '${Status}' -W libc6
install ok installeddeinstall ok config-filesinstall ok installed
$

this query does what we want in a multiarch context.

Strictly correct, but not a huge deal if we don't because those versioned build-dependencies will obviously be satisfied in the release this is being uploaded to. Adam, do you want to bump the build-dep versions and push new patches?
