Indeed, we cannot.  But there has never been a need to, anyway.

We'd just have to teach the tool to binNMU all arches when the target
package would need it due to multiarch.  Release team requests a binNMU of a
package for some arch, the tool notices it has to do them all because of
multi-arch constraints, and replicates the request for all other arches.

This is even listed in Ubuntu's MultiarchSpec wiki package...
