Right. I think I'll change it to:
dh_strip -p$(PACKAGE) --dbg-package=$(PACKAGE)-dbg
dh_strip -N$(PACKAGE)
although right now it doesn't make a difference (the -dev package
doesn't contain any ELF files).

I think it is. The files in non-multiarch paths (manpages and headers)
are the same across architectures.
