They are very relevant with Multi-Arch, the point is that nowadays
debhelper takes care of them, so they are *usually* not needed anymore.
I recommend you just try to remove the lines and cross build the
package, but I expect you can safely remove them.
Note that these days cross building is extremely easy with both sbuild
and pbuilder, you just need to pass --host (for sbuild) or --host-arch
(for pbuilder), and they took care of everything (ISTR sbuild needs
another flag to install a foreign package, but that will be easy to find
out if you use sbuild…).
