Package: debhelper
Version: 8.1.6
Severity: minor

Hello,

debhelper(7) says
| v9 This compatability level is still open for development; use with
|    caution.
| Changes from v8 are:
| [...]
| dh_makeshlibs detects packages containing multiarch directories and
| sets a Pre-Dependency on multiarch-support in ${misc:Pre-Depends}

However debhelper expands ${misc:Pre-Depends} to multiarch-support
even in v7 (or v1) mode. To be clear: I think what needs to change is the
documentation, not the behavior. It looks like a nice improvement and
should be safe. And multiple packages in Ubuntu already
rely on this behavior.
