There is a not-yet-resolved Debian Policy bug proposing /usr/include/$triplet as another FHS exception for per-architecture header files. Since it's not yet in Policy, I haven't been pushing such changes as part of the patches for multiarch (with the exception of linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev, which are obviously prerequisites for any build-time multiarch support). But if you're inclined to add support for co-installable -dev packages, this would be the way to do it - it's what the toolchain already supports and that's not likely to change. There's certainly an open question of what the best way to implement this is - whether all headers for a library should move to /usr/include/$triplet if one of them must, or if only the arch-dependent headers should move. It's mostly a trade-off of on-disk space savings vs. ease of implementation wrt upstream build systems.
