Correct.

Yup, I'm pretty sure it'll stay there, as it's the "right thing to do"
for mulitarch.  Note that it's not exactly /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxc/,
but rather /usr/lib/$DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH/lxc/.

(Cc:ing Stéphane in case he disagrees and there is a good reason why we
should not follow debian's lead in multiarching)
