Python3-hid was marked `Multi-Arch: same` by a previous maintainer.  Recently,
tracker.debian.org warned that there is an issue because the WHEEL file is
different in each package.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-hidapi

The differences are in the `tag` field in the WHEEL file.  For example, amd64
has:

Tag: cp312-cp312-linux_x86_64

While arm64 has:

Tag: cp312-cp312-linux_aarch64

What is the recommended way to deal with this?\

1.  Should the package not be marked `Multi-Arch: same`?

2.  Should I prevent the binary package from shipping the WHEEL file?

3.  Is there some other recommendation?

It seems like this package probably should just not be marked Multi-Arch: same. The WHEEL file is likely important metadata.
