ok, sponsored into quantal (changing ubuntu1.1 to ubuntu2).

Please you should ask to nominate for release for getting it into precise and subscribe the SRU team. I've done it for you :) Thanks!

also, you needed to change precise to precise-proposed in the changelog. Done!

The package in precise-proposed works for me.
I built a i386 test package on amd64 and put it to depend on xterm. If I attempt to install the test package, so the xterm amd64 is installed. Thanks
