Actually, the problem may be wider: debhelper has a more general feature
of allowing '.$arch' as a suffix to the config files, that works not
only for lintian overrides (even if most commonly it's used only for
lintian overrides and symbol files, from my experience).
I believe you should check all files supported by the regular debhelper
tools that affects the content of data.tar.xz (that means, things like
d/libfoo.symbols.$arch should be ignored, and perhaps some others).
In other words, my request is to widen the newly committed
multi-arch-same-package-has-arch-specific-overrides to support all
debhelper config files.
I'm CCing Helmut as the leading expert of "Multi-Arch-ness" to double
check on whether I'm writing nonsense :)
