Quite many people using CMake has libraries installed into
${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib${LIB_SUFFIX}, so people using that will not
have any simple way of doing things.
There is a GNUInstallDirs file that sets various variables like
CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR, but that one hasn't yet been taught about
multiarch directories in the version in Debian. The next CMake release
(2.8.8) will as far as I know support CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR with
multiarch paths.
Maybe we can get the maintainer to cherry-pick the patch from upstream
in the meantime. It's 43f83d2ee523a38648322f629559694c71d5bb52
