I'm sorry but I have much more confidence in Guillem's and Steve's
technical abilities than in yours.
I can understand your frustration but you never offered a viable and clean
long-term solution. Sending patches to dpkg to add/enable a Multi-Arch field
without making use of it and/or explaining the whole plan and rationale
is far from good.
I would also not merge patches without knowing if the full plan is
credible.
