Bug#983666: fontforge FTCBFS: python build-depends not installable

[Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>]

Source: fontforge
Version: 1:20201107~dfsg-4
Tags: patch
User: debian-cross@lists.debian.org
Usertags: cross-satisfiability

fontforge fails to cross build from source, because its python build
depends are not installable. An earlier bug already moved much of the
documentation dependencies to B-D-I, so python is really all that is
left. fontforge requests the python interpreter for the host
architecture, but it really needs a runnable python interpreter and a
host architecture python development package. Please consider applying
the attached patch to multiarchify the dependencies.
