+Common-Description:
+ ProteanOS library packages are having their host architectures appended to
+ their names, in order to allow coinstallation of different architecture builds
+ of each library for the purpose of cross-building dependent source packages.
+ For more information, see:
+ .
+     http://www.proteanos.com/dev/multiarch/
+ .
+ Renaming library packages would temporarily break the installation of all other
+ packages that depend on them, so temporary transitional packages are necessary.
+ The libraries' source packages can't build such transitional packages
+ themselves, because opkbuild automatically renames library packages and won't
+ allow two binary packages in one source package to share the same name (before
+ acrhictecture qualification).  So the transitional packages are built by a
+ separate source package called "malt", or "multiarch library transitions".
