From [1]: [quote] Although Debian policy currently doesn't allow -dev packages with headers which vary across architectures to be Multi-Arch: same, users may set up cross-build environments using only -dev packages for the target arch. Having your runtime library package built as Multi-Arch: same makes it easier to build software against your library in such an environment.

I think the libs are in the package libsane. And libsane really supports multiarch.
