    No package is allowed to install files in ``/usr/lib64/``. Previously,

This path is used by the multilib 64-bit toolchain on 32-bit
architectures, for instance libc6-amd64:i386, or a few essential
libraries like ncurses.

What kind of fix do you expect on the packages? Is it finally the time
to get rid of multilib and use pure multiarch instead?

We did not intend to make any packages buggy with this change.  It was
thought to be just a clarification.

Also with usrmerge libc6:amd64 will put a link in /usr/lib64/. Arguably this is covered in 3. but maybe should be considered.
