As far as I know the changed for multiarch would require:
- newer debhelper, new compat level
- control file changes
- *.install changes
- the --libdir option to configure

The bug that's assigned to libc is #632281. I don't know about
the status there. If we get a multiarch version of elfutils in
testing, there is no need to change libc (for me). But I think
it would be good in general that it would look at both the
non-multiarch and multiarch path.
The libc code in testing/unstable will only look at the multi-arch
path. So the elfutils in testing doesn't work, but the elfutils
in unstable does work.
