Just make sure it's properly documented in e.g. changelog and debian/rules, so that arch-specific stuff can be cleaned up afterwards without having to wonder why that was put into place in the first place.

You already have the bottom line: not really a solution (unless agreed with the release team/compiler folks that a whole bunch of packages need such a different version, for whatever reasons).
