All of my packages, against which complaints have been BZ'ed, all are *-devel packages which suffer from - Conflicts in /usr/bin/* devel tools (typical *-config scripts) - Conflicts in %doc files below /usr/share (90% of them steming from doxygen generated docs and __man pages__) I.e. these packages run-time packages are installable in parallel, but their *-devel packages conflicts. So, as it seems to me, the "multiarch" campaign of is aiming at parallel installation of the *devel packages.
