The current multiarch implementation is rather unfortunate. The GNUstep-esque solution is much nicer: have a sub-directory for each architecture under /usr/lib. Do the same for /usr/bin. And while at it, go the full distance and allow for application and framework (library) bundles as well.

The more self-contained applications can be, the less can go wrong with upstream-created packages.
