Sorry, I don't have time right now to look at it. But did you consider
marcus' several years old arch-handling proposal[1]?
Also, please note that at least half of the dpkg-maintainers don't read
-devel, you probably want to post this to -dpkg. Incidently, there is a
proposal and patch by Gerhard Tonn for handling lib64 under
discussion[2].
