Bug#812228: Multi-Arch support for dh-python
Pinging this bug, any progress? It is blocking crossgrading with GNOME
installed (affects python3-pil and python3-cairo).

The correct approach is actually to disallow py{,3}compile in
Multi-Arch: same packages.
It does not even make much sense since it is not possible to install
multiple architectures of the python interpreter at the same time,
and in normal cases the package could just be binary-all.
gir1.2-ibus-1.0 is a bit special for that, and the approach taken for
that is to have no byte-compilation (and no python dependencies).
The latter is not perfect, but seems to be acceptable for a very
special situation (the python module is an optional part of an
architecture-specific package). If anything should be improved
on that, the python module should be split out of the package.

Bug#812228: Multi-Arch support for dh-python
I've attached a patch that will make dh-python Multi-Arch aware by making
use of the environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH which is provided in
the environment by dpkg.
Specifying the architecture this way will prevent a failure that requires
the human administrator to fix. With version 3.5.1-4 of python3-minimal it
will unfortunately redundantly compile packages when multiple architecture
variants provide the same python modules. However, I've submitted a patch
to python3-minimal that would correct that behavior.
See bug #838193 for the changes I propose to python3-minimal.
