simplified and using the correct variable:

override_dh_auto_configure:
	./configure.py --boost-python-libname=boost_python-py \
		--boost-thread-libname=boost_thread \
		--cuda-root=/usr --cuda-enable-gl \
		$(if $(filter $(DEB_HOST_ARCH),i386),--no-cuda-enable-curand)

yes, whatever is in unstable at that point

That's fine.
