multi-arch and non-multi-arch gobject introspection in Debian and derivatives

Hi all,
I have a short question, asking for opinion and feedback.
At the moment all gir1.2-* packages in Debian must have multi-arch
paths for the .typelibs files that provide information for gobject
introspection.
In Ubuntu and possibly other derivatives, this step has not been taken
yet, .typelibs files are installed to non-multi-arch locations.
This makes it quite difficult for downstream maintainers (Ubuntu et
al.) to simply pull over src:packages that provide some gir1.2-*
bin:package.
My proposal for the interim phase (however long that might be) is to
provide symlinks in gir1.2-* packages that provide correct
functionalities in Debian and downstream distros (such as described
above), as well.
/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/Caja-2.0.typelib
-> /usr/lib/<triplet>/girepository-1.0/Caja-2.0.typelib
This surely wouldn't be something worth a freeze exception (I guess),
but once we have jessie in place, is this something others would
consider, as well?
Happy about feedback!
