libc6 includes much more than just /lib/* though, what do you do with all the other files? How are you going to handle the conflict between /usr/share/zoneinfo from libc6:i386 and the same from libc6:ia64?You can't make the assumption those files are identical, they could (forexample) be affected by the different word size[0].
Files in /usr/share are architecture-independent per the FHS. Architecture-dependent files in /usr/share are a violation of policy.
Files in /usr/lib are architecture-dependent, but I'd assume they'd be moved, just like /lib.
