I don't think this can be fixed in freetds (or if it can be, it's not obvious and needs an apter to tell me how).

The oneiric tdsodbc Recommends: libiodbc2 | unixodbc, so libiodbc2 gets pulled in automatically as the first solution. The precise tdsodbc Breaks: libiodbc2 because precise is moving to multiarch paths for ODBC drivers, and libiodbc2 doesn't implement this (and won't, the package is orphaned and will be removed from Debian unstable and precise just as soon as I get a solution for soprano to work with unixodbc).

So I think we need update-manager to take care of this for us.
