Thanks for the explanation Steve Langasek! The behavior of APT is therefore intended and i add wontfix in the hope that others might see this bug before reporting it again. Adding this conflict between multiarch and bin-uploads to the Spec would be a worthy addition, too, i guess (or is it written somewhere and i just missed it?)
