The problem I see is that we have 16 packages in the 32 bit distro requiring libexpat1-devel, 2 packages in the 64 bit distro, and 8 packages in the 64 bit distro requiring libexpat-devel. Regardless of libexpat1-devel supposedly being a bad choice of names, from the global distro perspective, it would be much easier to remove the libexpat-devel package from the 64 bit distro and go over the hint files manually for now. Otherwise you would have to introduce a new 32 bit package and get all maintainers to change their dependencies accordingly for the next package. Just a thought...
