As a general rule, we should explicitly forbid mixing libraries with
other resources (manuals, binaries, config files, data) as it breaks multilib.
While noarch data can be worked around by using the same versions of
libraries (provided they are available!), the others cannot coexist. For
example, let's do some dumb check:
exactly my point, altho i had different "multilib" here (not mixed arch, but just same library different versions)
but having used "real" multilib as well, i know the pain.

mandrake (or it friends) used to have ALWAYS libFOON package, FOO = libname, N = soname
afaik debian also does something like this.
