In most cases binconfig files conflict among multilib packages, to avoid

This isn't going in, its complex and supports a minority use case.
binconfig should be dying out, not being extended and shored up like
this.
I'd also add this patch is buggy, its pure luck that update-alternatives
is available at rootfs generation time since its not in a visible
dependency.
So going forward I'd like to see patches which simply delete binconfig
scripts. Where there isn't a .pc alternative we should be adding them
and pushing them upstream.
Did you mean we'd better remove all *-config scripts, insteaded by
providing .pc files, and send the changes to all upstreams providing and
using *-config? That seems a huge work and we need co-operate with a lot
of projects.
