I dont know how common that is but I maintain for example some libraries
that exports different APIs on 32-bit userland and 64-bit userland
([1] and [2], I haven't looked for more).

What do you recommend for such a case? Using debian/package.symbols and
overriding all 64-bit archs with debian/package.symbols.$ARCH?
