Is this necessary? There are already softlinks set up: /usr/lib32->/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib and /lib32->/emul/ia32-linux/lib. If debian is going to go down this road, then I think plain old lib should also get removed in the process (e.g. put everything into either lib32 or lib64; temporarily provide a lib softlink until a full transition happens). This could make a 64 to 128 (or other bitness) transition and associated backwards-compatibility easier, perhaps...
