So now we get back to my original question: what file type would that "clever wrapper" be? The kernel can only load an ELF interpreter that is itself an ELF file of the native architecture, so that wrapper would have to be that.

Oh absolutely, it would be native to the current architecture of the kernel, and would be installed in a multiarch directory too.

If we have to install different native versions of the clever wrapper, we might just as well install the original native ELF interpreters -- that's neither better nor worse from a multiarch rules perspective.

Hmm right; doesn't give us anything more
