Bug#802303: #802303: libpetsc3.6.2-dev: arch-dependent file in "Multi-Arch: same" package

I see what's going on a little better. The filepatch
/usr/share/python/runtime.d/libpetsc3.6.2-dev.rtupdate is common to all
arches, but its contents are architecture specific, which breaks Multi-
Arch:same.

Since that file was generated by dh_python2, it indicates that
dh_python2 is not [sufficiently] multiarch aware.  Perhaps related to
bug#798491.

But the actual python scripts themselves (.py in
/usr/lib/petscdir/3.7.4/x86_64-linux-gnu-real/bin) don't seem to be
architecture specific.  I wonder if it makes sense to split them off to
a common /usr/lib/petscdir/3.7.4/python dir.
