Bug Description

Steam for Linux beta is currently running, and there’s a lack of system tray support in Gnome Classic (and other desktops) due to libappindicator:i386 missing by default, but it cannot be installed on a 64bit Ubuntu without removing the 64bit version library…

Mathieu, as you are currently reshuffling the packaging for the whole stack, I think switching to dh9 will bring that, can you ensure it's the case?

It isn't packaging problem at all
On archlinux we need to do this https://gist.github.com/4293794 and remove bindings/python to successfully compile this as lib32-libappindicator

1. Making lib32-python as dependency is the worst design idea ever
2. There is no easy way to disable mono/python stuff like just simple --disable-python-bindings (AFAIK)… another design failure -.-

Bug #1757204 is blocking this (libindicator needs to be made multi-arch aware first).
