Seconded.
Triviality: could you please (in the changelog, upgrading checklist,
etc) word this change to mean "allow private libraries to be placed in a
multiarch location" rather than "disallow private libraries to be places
directly under /usr/lib/<triplet>" which very weirdly seemed to be what
most of the mails in this bug are about?
