The way that multi-arch works in Fedora is that 32-bit x86 and 64-bit x86
library packages are shipped in the x86_64 repo. In the infrastructure, we sort
through all the packages and apply a set of rules to determine which packages
qualify for this "dual arch" treatment. The most reliable way to make sure
things get set up properly is to have runtime libraries split out into their
own subpackage. When they *aren't* split out, we get a number of cases where
this treatment gets inconsistently applied, which causes bugs for installations
and upgrades as packages can appear and disappear randomly when repositories
are updated.
