The current dependency design comes from nineties and the multilib support
(those dreaded `(64bit)()` postfix markers on dependencies) from the early
millenium was always an ugly hack, necessiated by backwards compatibility. It's
not so much a technically complicated change as it's a compatibility issue,
there hasn't been a good time to make such a change. The oncoming rpm v6 format
provides a nice point to reset the dependency namespace.
#1038 is a PR in this direction, but there are further details to consider wrt
storage and otherwise.
