You are right Michael, this is not a mandatory item in reviewing a package. We
should be lenient with multilib conflicts if the package mainly act as a
program such as qt-creator.

Howerver, the main role of CBFlib is act as a dynamic lib, the programs
included in the CBFlib are only utilities. So I think we should be careful with
multilib conflicts in CBFlib, it's easy to split out a -utils subpackage.
