dpkg-dev and libdpkg-perl could reasonably be Multi-Arch: foreign, even
in advance of other multiarch work, since as far as I know they provide
no architecture-dependent interfaces and can be allowed to satisfy
dependencies of foreign-architecture packages.
In particular, this would allow packages that build-depend directly on
dpkg-dev to have their build-dependencies satisfied under multiarch even
after the change proposed in #646288.
