I would go through the Debian bug system to find all the issues they have
with their multiarch scheme and certain software. Both 'solutions' cause
issues at time and headaches for packagers to sysadmins to users. Now
whether or not one set of headaches/problems is less painful I don't know..
 [I only know this because the one thing my Debian friends ever tell me
that Red Hat got right was with multilib versus multiarch ... of course
they could just be throwing me a bone.]
