I started a multiarch.7 man-page, but I am not sure it belongs in man-pages...
at least we should not cover all the package manager details.

.SH NAME
multiarch \- Multiarch support
.SH DESCRIPTION
Multiarch
is a way of installing multiple binary targets (such as i386-linux-gnu and
amd64-linux-gnu) on one
.BR hier (7)
filesystem, which originated in (but is not limited to)
Debian and Ubuntu.
.\"
.SS Overview and scope
Multiarch allows binaries of many ABI targets to co-exist on the same system.
Through the use of
.BR qemu-user-static (1)
and
.BR binfmt.d (5)
it is even possible to run targets that are not natively runnable. It also can
be used for cross-compilation.
.sp
The current spec does not address having multiple binaries of the same name, and
thus does not effect
.BR path_resolution (7)
.
