Okay so those two cases seem to be intentional for creating backwards
compatible provides, but for requires one obviously doesn't need to create
compat entries. Clearly there needs to be a way to handle the compat situation,
but if somebody was starting from a distro from scratch you probably wouldn't
want that. And anybody migrating to multiarch deps will want to get rid of the
compat provides sooner or later too.
My suggestion: instead of an option to enable multiarch, make it an option that
takes a biarch/multiarch/compat style argument, controllable with a single
macro that defaults to biarch. Pass the whole elfInfo structure into addDeps()
and handle all the logic inside that. Oh and drop -deps from the name anyhow,
it doesn't add any value since *all* elfdeps arguments are about dependencies,
because ... well, elf*deps*.
