Re: [PATCH] man7/multiarch.7: new manpage

Hi!

The CC list seems to include only some barely related lists. I'm also
a bit conflicted about whether this belongs in man-pages upstream,
being it pretty much distribution-specific. OTOH having something like
this there, might make it easier to understand for people outside the
Debian-world.

I don't think that's correct?

This one should be x86_64-linux-gnu.

This again is very Debian-centric, not sure if it belongs there?

A stray subsection?

Those two have been either out-of-date or out-of-sync with the
implementation for a long time now…
