Thank you for bringing bug #738213 to our attention. I am committed to resolving those issues introduced by the upload of multiarch, and I believe the release team understands that, which is why the freeze exception has been granted.
I'm having a look at the python2.7 build and we will get the source package build fixed in time for beta. While you may think breaking python is proof that the transition as a whole is broken, there are a finite number of build systems that implement their own library resolution and need to be fixed. We've fixed several others already for this transition; python is another and will be taken care of ASAP.
A full rebuild of the Ubuntu main archive will also be scheduled to identify any other unexpected breakage introduced by this change. I believe the risk to the 11.04 release overall is still low.
