The new source package format _was_ designed with multi-binary
packages in mind. dpkg itself is such a package !
If you think you can't get it to work you've probably done something
wrong, like not RTFM'ing dpkg-source(1). In particular, note the -T,
-p, -P, -d &c options to the various tools. See the dpkg debian/rules
file for an example.
