This only changes the name of the files, which is the trivial part. As
those are conf files, the problem is to handle them during the package
upgrade, probably using dpkg-maintscript-helper. During the whole
upgrade process, the biarch compat files (old or new version) should never
have bigger priority than the corresponding native one, as it might
render the libc unusable for some weird multiarch + multilib
configurations.
