You may consider caring particularly for backporting.

With long-form dh_* (and therefore also with CDBS) you can have packages 
that behave correctly both with and without multiarch, by relying on 
$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) being empty on single-arch build environments.  
See e.g. zimlib¹ for an example of that.

Might be possible too with short-form dh, but I suspect that's more 
tricky.

¹ Funny detail; You are co-maintainer of zimlib. ;-)
