Yes, of course that would work, but what about when someone wants to debug one of the tools. We would need a separate package for that, but creating a new debug package just for the tools is an intrusive change at this point. So, since compat 9 is off the table, I think it best to just not multiarch the debug package, which lets the user select the right package for the arch that they're interested in debugging.
