Subject: software-properties-gtk: Provide a GUI for multi-arch management

Date: Tue, 06 Feb 2018 20:59:49 +0100

Package: software-properties-gtk
Version: 0.96.20.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Would it be possible to provide a user-friendly graphical interface to manage
multi-arch options?

For example, I would install Steam on Debian, but only an i386 package is
provided. The only way I can enable it is via a terminal command.

It woud also provide an easy way of seeing which arcs can be enabled, and which
are already.
