This bug will also cover library paths, the requirements around file
conflicts or lack thereof for the various types of multiarch packages, and
everything else from the multiarch wiki documentation that needs to be
folded into Policy. I'd rather not do this piecemeal, since we need to
review the whole multiarch specification across Policy to be sure that
everything is consistent.
