The *huge* benefit of multi-arch is to people that *cross-compile*.

I understand that some people cross compile, and that's nice, but I'm
not convinced it's important enough a use case to rearrange lots of
things with all the pain involved.
Since I've not actually used debian in years, I'll bow out of this
discussion now. ;)
