[yocto] [multilib] 64-bit and 32-bit package install the same executable

[Aaron_Wright at selinc.com]

I've noticed that for my custom image both the 32-bit and the 64-bit 
versions of the same package are getting installed. For example, it has 
both shadow-base and lib32-shadow-base installed. When I check the 
/bin/su.shadow executable I find it is 32-bit.

Is it expected that the lib32 version of the package will "win" when both 
packages install the same /bin/su.shadow file?

Is this something that is always true, so that I can always assume, when 
two packages install the same executable, that it will end up being 
32-bit?

Why does the packaging system, PACKAGE_CLASSES = "package_ipk", not give 
an error when both packages install the same file?
