Yes and no. Yes, because more than 100 libraries have already been
converted to the multiarch paths; this has not caused many problems so
far. No, because dpkg does not support multiarch yet; you have to build
it from an unofficial git branch¹.
Right now there is also the problem that the /lib64 -> /lib symlink
causes problems with i386 biarch packages, therefore multiarch support
in eglibc has been temporarily disabled on architectures which ship
that symlink².
