What about other consumers of pkcs11 modules?  This is the point:  if
/usr/lib/pkcs11 is an interface shared by multiple consumers of these
modules (meaning: if p11-kit is not the only thing which uses
gnome-keyring-module), then coordinating between gnome-keyring-module and
p11-kit is not sufficient to ensure a smooth upgrade.  gnome-keyring-module
should be kept in /usr/lib/pkcs11 until *all* of the consumers have been
updated to know about the multiarch path, which means all of them should
look in both paths on at least a transitional basis.

Maybe upstream doesn't want that patch, but I think it's the right thing for
Debian and Ubuntu to do during the transition.
