package libfftw3-3 needs converting to Multi-Arch

you should not move files around. you get in trouble with updates.

could you mention, why you do need fftw multiarch installable?

great! so i'll wait for the solution, i must mention i needed experience with triaging too

Looks like a sync/merge needs to be done to get this into Quantal. I'll work on this.

Here's the sync request: bug 1007259
