yes. Marking pidgin-data as M-A:foreign is the right fix as it is also
suggested by the multiarch-hinter. See the "action needed" items at

I'm adding debian-perl@lists.debian.org to the recipients as I'm not familiar
with Perl in a cross-build context. Maybe the Perl maintainers have a solution
for you.
I'm a bit confused that debhelper ${perl:Depends} adds an unversioned
dependency on perl-base even though it's essential:

Thanks!
