Yes. docs etc.

Yes, makedev for example.

We have yet to find an example for this, though.

Yes.
Before people jump on this thread and start to discuss, go over to
debian-policy and read the thread "smarter way to differentiate architecture
needed" I started a while ago, where this is discussed among the Debian
folks.
As soon as I have a list of affected packages, Guy Major will start to
implement this feature (if the list is big enough). For future grow, I will
try to convince Guy that we need it.
debian-policy is available through the normal debian archives on the web.
