It may be temporary, it may not be.  We've removed mozilla in favor of Firefox 
for building things against, so firefox grew a -devel sub package.  However 
this is a temporary measure until xulrunner is ready for prime time which 
will provide the basis of the browsing stuff and a -devel package to build 
against, so that firefox doesn't need a -devel anymore, and packages can use 
a much smaller xulrunner to develop against.  At that time, firefox may cease 
to be multilib automatically, however I would entertain requests to force it 
to be multilib...
