Might be appropriate to have some mention of multilib -- that it's
_acceptable_ to have the same package for two different architectures
both providing the same file in /usr/bin -- which strictly speaking is a
conflict.

And then, of course, I'd like to recommend the guideline set out in bug
#235757 -- that any binary package which is _expected_ to be installed
in both flavours in order to get both sets of libraries in their
respective %_libdir should _not_ also have conflicts in /usr/bin -- the
binaries should be in a separate binary package. (Like we did for hal +
hal-libs recently).
