Title:
  ia32 packages missing on amd64

Status in lsb package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lsb

  In a nutshell, this doesn't work on a 64-bit system:

  # apt-get install lsb-graphics-ia32
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  E: Couldn't find package lsb-graphics-ia32

  ia32-libs satisfies most (all?) dependencies, so that's a workaround.
  Proper LSB packages are still desirable though as that means that you
  can give the same instructions to users regardless of their system's
  arch, and lsb_release will be able to properly report support for
  graphics-ia32 even on 64-bit systems.

  I tested this on Ubunut 10.04, but from what I can tell this has been
  the same for all releases.
