I think this bug is related:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666772

And as far as I understood the patch, this only makes arch:all packages used in
build dependencies m-a:foreign and not arch:all packages used as binary
dependency of other binary packages. Is this correct?

We would also like to have this situation clarified for a correct Ubuntu
specific implementation of this in dose3.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
