You may have missed my point: I was suggesting that the lib32 stuff be
packed into fewer packages, because the places where it is needed are
less likely to want fine-grained selection.  So just having a single
package with all the "runtime" packages would be closer to what most
people needed (and likewise for the "development" etc. libraries which
are almost never useful).
