Re: Backporting a multi-arched package

debian/control:
* remove lines with "Multi-Arch:"
You only need to remove only Mutli-Arch field which would become
incorrect after demultiarchification. In usually means that you should
drop "Multi-Arch: same", but you can keep "foreign" or "allowed".
* remove lines with "Pre-Depends:
I think you meant: remove "Pre-Depends: multiarch-support". However, the
pre-dependency on multiarch-support should be normally generated by
debhelper via the ${misc:Pre-Depends} substitution variable. If this is
the case, you don't need to remove anything.
* Move back to dephelper (>= 8)
debian/compat:
* Move back to "8"
If we are talking about backporting to squeeze, these shouldn't be
necessary. The backported version of debhelper >=9 has the multiarch
bits disabled.
