The problem with multilib case is that the same target package is used
for populating the target sysroot in the nativesdk, and for populating
the target image rootfs. In the former case, postinst_intercept should
be suppressed, in the latter, it should not. But we won't know that
until populating the sdk, or creating the image. I still think that
changing the warnings to notes should not be harmful; the scripts all
create caches of some kind, which are generally unneeded at build
time. Or we would run into issues with plain yocto builds already, as
we don't create those caches either.
