you may have already done this analysis, Alberto, but fwiw what I see is
that dpkg-architecture is used at runtime to get the multiarch path -
however, this is always called in the context of the native
architecture, so this can instead be calculated at build-time and
embedded in the binary since this is in an arch-dependent package.  That
would solve the problem of needing dpkg-dev at runtime.

Title:
  ubuntu-drivers-common now pulls in build tools on end-user systems

Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Focal:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In bug 1875339, a depends on dpkg-dev was added. This is pulling in
  all of build-essential on upgrades (or just binutils and make and
  patch if you pass --no-install-recommends).

  This needs to be reverted and fixed differently.
