It seems you forgot to actually attach the patch.

I'm not sure that having libfoo-dev packages depend on dpkg-dev is
desirable, although this currently seems to be the only way to retrieve
the multiarch path.  Since there are many foo-config scripts in the
archive, maybe this should be discussed with a broader audience,
i.e. debian-devel?  See also http://bugs.debian.org/636352.
