No. The loop used to break on multiarch systems because deborphan did
not produce multiarch-aware content until recently. Even then, this
only affects Ubuntu's Precise release. No other Debian or Ubuntu
release is affected.

This is a nice new feature, but it's not backportable, hence why I'll
stick with my own loops for now.
