Hello,

thanks for bringing these fixes.

From my view these are probably enough to make aptitude "support multiarch".

As for resolver being unreliable on multiarch - I don't consider that
a multiarch issue.

It is a long-standing problem that the resolver is generally
unreliable. Any possible multiarch-specific issues will be lost in the
heaps of issues the resolver already has.

The value I see in aptitude is an interactive UI for exploring
packages and their dependencies which should be restored once aptitude
can deal with packages of multiple architectures sanely.
