The problem was a bug in d/rules that failed to clean and regenerate 
autogenerated files (including the pre/postinst scripts) that had 
DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH substitutions. They then used the values from my 
laptop (aarch) rather than the buildd (x86_64). Its now fixed.

Done. Sorry, my dev laptop died and I didn't push everything from local 
git in time.

I've cleaned it up since.
