Bug Description

On a x86_64 ubuntu 12.04, I can't install both libxext-dev and libxext-dev:i386.

I'm able to install both libxext6 and libxext6:i386 but it's not possible with libxext-dev because "Multi-Arch" is not set.
This means that I'm not able to build 32-bit version of programs that need libxext from a x86_64 ubuntu.

I fixed it in a PPA, by adding "Multi-Arch: same" and by fixing docbook generating different files between 32 and 64 (random ids instead of pre-defined ids):
