I'm not sure this is a generic rule, and if it were, then exclusion
between i386 and x86_64 should be defined on most dev packages, and
it's not the case
also note, that in some cases, arch specific headers are moved to arch
dependent directories (e.g. jpeg, glib...), which should also parallel
install of multi-arch libs
in any case, the job by ubuntu folks in 12.04 done is crappy, to say the least

if the ubuntu folks keep this state of mind, then they'll continue to sink
the best solution is then to pick up another distro
A+
