Oh, and I forgot to add we are talking about a quite limited set of
packages which will have to use /libo32, and that list will probably
get even smaller with jessie. It's basically packages built from
either gcc-4.X, eglibc, ncurses, readline6 and zlib.

All other o32 packages installed through multiarch will go to
(/usr)/lib/mipsel-linux-gnu.
