Dpkg is too critical not to consider such a bug. I do personaly sometimes install a list of packages manualy through dpkg, without APT. And I guess I may not be the only. It would be wise to put the libdir transition on hold, until dpkg gets fixed. (note the Wichert seems to have orphaned a lot of packages recently, and dpkg is stalled).
