Sorry for commenting on the old bug, but the same manpage says:
TERMS
build machine = The machine the package is built on.
host machine = The machine the package is built for.
I think using DEB_HOST_* is correct here.

Title:
libreoffice uses DEB_HOST_ARCH to decide whether or not something is
built
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Noticed this here:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/119018436/libreoffice_1%3A3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu2_1%3A3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3.diff.gz
I believe this should be DEB_BUILD_ARCH.
Quoting from the dpkg-archetecture man page
DEB_BUILD_ARCH
The Debian architecture of the build machine.
DEB_HOST_ARCH
The Debian architecture of the host machine.
While this won't affect our archive builds, it does affect cross
builds.
