For different values of "properly" – apt isn't the only thing involved here, you have to consider the reaction of dpkg and dose as well and these 3 tools aren't agreeing on the interpretation of "pkg:arch" in combination with M-A:foreign and various other things at the moment: https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/multiarch-devel/2015-April/000099.html (The initial problem, that you can install packages on single arch system where arch == native-arch which is what debhelper is trying to pull here was fixed, yes, but that doesn't mean that you will actually get a package from the native-arch. -- If anyone wants to comment this, don't do it here, do it in the thread I linked AFTER reading the thread. There is enough complexity and text to fill an afternoon; no need to send a comment in the lunch break with your smartphone…). I would revert the revert as this is potentially causing more trouble than the "problems" it is trying to solve (aka: I don't see why a debug package has to depend on the package it provides symbols for at all. If any the relation should be 'Enhances'…). Best regards David Kalnischkies
