Bug#645959: p11-kit looks in /usr/lib/$arch/pkcs11 for modules, nothing installs there?

Hi Andreas,

I see that the p11-kit package in unstable is converted for multiarch. 
Great to see!  However, it looks like libp11-kit0 is meant to integrate with
pkcs modules from other packages, all of which currently install to
/usr/lib/pkcs11 - whereas because the library is multiarched, it only looks
in /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/pkcs11, and will never find these
modules.

Should libp11-kit0 declare a Breaks: against the versions of these packages
which install to /usr/lib/pkcs11, and a transition done?  Or should
libp11-kit0 be patched to support looking up modules in both locations?

For reference, here is the list of packages affected according to the
Contents files for the archive:

beid-common
coolkey
gnome-keyring
libopencryptoki0
opencryptoki

Cheers,
