Find the patch below.
This makes it skip checking for the 32-bit emulation shared libs.
Tested and works on both 32- and 64-bit debian sarge. But I only tested 
the new version (8.12.10) of the fglrx driver.

libGL.so.1.2 was not the only 32-bit emul shlib that caused errors, so I 
used "-X  debian/fglrx-driver/emul/ia32-linux", so it matches all 32-bit 
emulation shlibs.

You probably know this, but just in case,.. please note that the built 
packages will still install all the 32-bit stuff, while not having 
dependencies for them. Which makes it a "dirty" solution I suppose.

But OTOH what would a clean solution be for such a mixed package? 
Seperate packages for pure64 and 32-bit-emulation is the only clean way 
I can imagine. Would that be do-able?

I still have no complete 32-bit-emul system set up. And I can't oversee 
the importance of it. I'm wondering, will a 32-bit application run on 
pure64 without the 32-bit emul-libs in place? Would it make a difference 
if this 32-bit app uses openGL.

If I can help out in some way, especially with the 64-bit version, 
please tell me how. (but note that I'm new to packaging and his 64-bit 
stuff though).
