Follow up, my proposal has a caveat for "Multi-Arch: same" packages (in
that it will not work for those). Just mentioning it for completeness.
I think the common argument is that these binaries do not belong in a
M-A: same package, but it is an uphill battle for the Janitor to figure
out how to solve that automatically.
