Thanks for that, I guess all my concerns are resolved.

None of my business, but I'd expect some ${DEB_TARGET_MULTIARCH} here.

As I had to learn the hard way, conflicting packages are not enough,
policy 10.1 forbids identical filenames anywere across the archive. So
I've renamed the library as well.
Current packages content is now:
libppd-legacy0:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libppd-legacy.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libppd-legacy.so.1.0.1
/usr/share/doc/libppd-legacy0/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/libppd-legacy0/changelog.gz
u/sr/share/doc/libppd-legacy0/copyright
libppd-legacy-dev:
/usr/include/ppdenums.h
/usr/include/ppd.h
/usr/include/ppdmacros.h
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libppd-legacy.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libppd-legacy.so
/usr/share/doc/libppd-legacy-dev/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/libppd-legacy-dev/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/libppd-legacy-dev/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/libppd-legacy-dev/copyright
/usr/share/man/man3/ppd_check_option_is_marked.3.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/ppd_emit_to_file.3.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/ppd_file_free.3.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/ppd_file_new.3.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/ppd_find_choice.3.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/ppd_get_num_conflicts.3.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/ppd_get_page_length.3.gz
Next step is testing an adjusted gpr, and before developing a test plan.
Otherwise, upload should happen in about three days, once the libppd
2:0.10-9 has migrated to testing.
