The mutliarch moves the libs around so they don't exist in the same
place for the purpose of installing both archs packages in parallel.
That means you can have a 32bit bash and a 64bit ls and both 32 bit
and 64bit libc6 for them.
Good news though. When multilib takes hold the lib64 -> lib links
could be removed, then 32bit and 64bit libs would be in different
places again and both could be linked to the multiarch dirs. Just
means all of debian has to be ported to multiarch (or lib64 dirs) so
broken software can be fixed with links.
