Yes, of course that would work, but what about when someone wants to
debug one of the tools. We would need a separate package for that,
but creating a new debug package just for the tools is an intrusive
change at this point.
So, since compat 9 is off the table, I think it best to just not
multiarch the debug package, which lets the user select the right
package for the arch that they're interested in debugging.
Best wishes,
Mike
