Comment 2 for bug 1383909

I thought it was possible to depend on a package with a different arch (I have never done that).

When I install bumblebee from the stable PPA, libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 ends up being installed (because of virtualgl, I think).
And another unrelated example: wine1.6 depends on wine1.6-i386, which is an an i386 package.
If they are Policy-compliant however, I don't know.

I suggested to add this "recommends" so that bumblebee users don't face issues when trying to run Skype, for example.
If libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 is installed before bumblebee, there should be no issues.
If the "depends/recommends" is added, maybe it could be in primus-libs-ia32 (an i386 package)?
Or maybe the wiki could be updated to recommend users to install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 before installing bumblebee?
