I agree. Consider RHEL/CentOS where you can simultanneously install both .i686

overlapping files, if these files don't differ.

If one puts script libraries to $libdir/<subdir>,  CentOS will have duplicate files in 
/lib/<subdir> and /lib64/<subdir>, but in case of $datadir there will be only one 
/usr/share/<subpackage>

Right, but this is only applicable if all files are arch-independent and guaranteed to stay so for ever.
