In my opinion your multilib approach introduces an unnecessary degree
of complexity, which --as has been shown here again-- is prone to
breakage.
It would be best for our beloved distro to revert all the multilib
changes, and try a different approach, or leave this prone-to-breakage
implementation to an overlay for the few people who would actually
benefit from it.
