Thanks for your report. This is fixed in hardening-wrapper 1.29 (bug 596136) and I confirm that it is fixed in maverick.
But we need to test the upgrade from Lucid to Maverick
the conflict appears in apt.log but the package is held during the upgrade
Investigating hardening-wrapper
Package hardening-wrapper has broken Conflicts on binutils-multiarch
  Considering binutils-multiarch 1 as a solution to hardening-wrapper -1
  Holding Back hardening-wrapper rather than change binutils-multiarch

From main.log
2010-08-05 16:30:56,805 DEBUG Upgradable, but held- back: hardening-wrapper mercurial-common libboost-dev libboost-serialization-dev mercurial

I'm adding an update-manager task for the upgrade.
