Well that depends on where you use the aliases, if they are only in
the sources package stanza in the debian/control file then you only need
a newer dpkg-dev to generate the source package, as the .dsc is going to
end up with the legacy architectures. If you use the aliases in the
binary package satanzas then you need a build-dependency, and support
from any helper tool that would need to parse those fields, like debhelper
and cdbs.

Right, but just because we will use it in the Build-Depends, not
because it's dpkg itself, given that we use the dpkg that's on the
system not the one we are building. ;)
