Debian does not currently support this, with the exception of some toolchain-related cross-compilation packages. People who absolutely need two different architectures of GT.M installed on the same box could use /opt or /usr/local for the non-native one, maybe. > So, I will sequence my work to create the 32-bit binary package > first, then the source package and then the 64-bit binary package. The general workflow should usually be to create the source package first, then build binary packages for the desired arches from it.
