This sounds like a good idea. dpkg-architecture is available on older
version of Debian and Ubuntu but doesn't support DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH
(which is fine).

We could parse the output of platform.dist() but it's easier to just
search for the apt-get command:

if not find_executable('apt-get'):
    # no Debian based distro
    return
if not find_executable('dpkg-architecture'):
    print "Warning, Debian detected but no dpkg-architecture found.
Please run 'sudo apt-get install build-essential'.
    return
