tarball.mk definetly supports multiple tarballs, but they're pretty
limited in usefulness - Each would unpack in build_dir, but so far we
can only specify one DEB_SRCDIR to work with.  So the tarballs would
have to overlay.  (That's what I had in mind when I put it together
originally).

If you can give me a real scenario with two tarballs, I can add it to my
TODO list for things to think about.

I'm a bit behind on my side of the cdbs hacking, though.
