Reading your words, I think your first step should be to look up the
concept of "cross builds" and what that means and implies (as opposed to
what you normally use and know, that are "native builds"), as I don't
think you understand what that is.
I don't think trying to understand the concept of cross-satisfable
dependencies and the limitation imposed by the model used by dpkg (and
as such why the Multi-Arch field is needed at all) is useful before
that.

These are not cross builds: buildd.d.o only does native builds.
