Comment 2 for bug 727106

There is still an issue, i.e. no multiarch symlink in /var/lib/dpkg/info when doing a fresh debootstrap.
How to reproduce the problem:
LANG=C debootstrap --verbose --arch=i386 --include=sysv-rc natty natty-chroot http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

# ls -alFh natty-chroot/var/lib/dpkg/info
total 26K
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 104 Mar 7 15:33 ./
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 472 Mar 7 15:34 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 7 15:33 dpkg.list
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 26K Mar 7 15:33 i386/

The version of dpkg:
# sudo chroot natty-chroot/ dpkg -l dpkg
