So, Dimitri's explanation is a bit muddled because he seems to confuse
HOST and BUILD a couple of times and hurt my brain, but he's right
nonetheless that the simplest and best thing here is to mark libtool
M-A:allowed.  If we follow the table here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchCross

We see that marking libtool M-A:allowed means that for normal builds,
you get the HOST_ARCH version (which is what you want), for cross
builds, you also get the HOST_ARCH version (which is what you want),
and if you really want the BUILD_ARCH version, because you're using it
to build tools for the build, rather than to build the final package,
you can specify a build-dep on libtool:native.

This is pretty much exactly how this should work.  There's no reason
for package splits, or to drop the arch-specific /usr/bin/libtool from
the package.
