Re: multi-arch with foreign non-free packages

[Nicolas Roche <nroche@prologue.fr>]

So it seems to be working :
- force "sort_deps" to accept all i386 packages.
- manage cross-dependencies by putting upper level foreign packages into 
default.downloads
- call "dpkg --add-foreign-architecture i386" within the 
"/usr/lib/base-installer.d/" hook
