For the each base package which provide shared libs, you've got just
one deb which supports two architectures.  Other packages can keep
their current organization (unless there's some real great reason to
put together a package which supports both architectures, but almost
nothing outside base should need this).

If that doesn't address your concern, could you be more specific?

Why do you need to split these?

Why do you need two of these?

You've got one binary package, why do you need two -dev packages to
produce one binary package?
