Yes, that suggestion makes much sense. One needs to check also which
further dependencies need to be flagged as multilib, too, but that's
just some straight-forward jobs to do (try to install, add missing
deps, retry and so on). A smart depsolver could do that on the client
side, but it's better to not pollute the x86_64 space with all i386
packages in the first place.

Could you open a bug report at bugzilla.atrpms.net? That's not
something very urgent and it may get forgotten which would be
sad. Thanks!
