The current multilib solution in rpm is far from pretty, it works

but definitively has downsides. I think as is its a reasonable
comprimise, lets not add bandaids and patches to it for issues which
should be solved elsewhere, I feel the pain of maintainers getting these
bugs (I got 15 of them), but they are fixable without requiring the
addition of yet another multilib kludge to rpm.
Well the question is still really where should these issues ultimately
be solved? Is kludging the rpms any more elegant than patching rpm? I
must admit I have no idea how other distro's deal with these kind of
issues.
