I would rather do it in perl, for various reasons (one reason that it is easier in perl to use regex). Remember that all packaging scripts are in perl, _and_ this script should be in dpkg-dev, as all rules files should use this instead any dpkg option. I am not talking about an optional add on script (dpkg-cross does this fine), but about a new way to understand multiple architecture support in our building scripts.
