I think that Ubuntu had a patch for this or something similar
earlier, so it may be good to reuse the syntax. Or perhaps ${multiarch}.
We need to avoid something that conflicts with anything in any debhelper
config files. It would be good to eg, grep the lintian lab.

It makes it harder to prove that it doesn't break anything currently.
Is there any use case for it?

This forces a call to dpkg-architecture in the common case where the
substitution is not used. Instead, it should only look up the value
once it find a use of it.
That will be more complicated, but this repeated code needs to be
refactored anyway..
