I don't know of a good way to handle the 64bit dependencies. We do not
want to unconditionally depend on the non-default biarch packages.
dh_shlibdeps doesn't work for 64bit packages, so you have to hand-code
all the dependencies ...

maybe dpkg-shlibdeps could use objdump -x instead of ldd to determine
the needed library dependencies?
