So my analysis above was completely wrong :) I was apparently looking at
all the wrong files. There is nothing wrong with the contents of
the packages themselves.

The libzstd1-dbgsym:amd64 and libzstd1-dbgsym:i386 packages cannot be
installed at the same time because none of them is marked as
Multi-Arch: same. It seems to me that this is some kind of regression in
debhelper; ISTR a time when it would do that, but ICBW :)

Reassigning the bug accordingly. Debhelper maintainers: this is also

G'luck,
