So this tooling does
- patch the source,
- _not_ change the version,
- build non-all?

This sounds broken, as it already relies on those packages producing
compatible all/non-all packages from two different sources.  Yes, in
practice this will work.

To make the double package problem easier, just change the version with
a sufficiently high epoch?

What kind of information can this dependency satisfiability test use?

Something like this?

| Provides:
|   linux-libc-dev-supports (= amd64-0),
|   linux-libc-dev-supports (= arm64-0),
|   linux-libc-dev-supports-multiarch (= aarch64-linux-gnu-0),
|   linux-libc-dev-supports-multiarch (= x86-64-linux-gnu-0),
