Bug#612700: please mark tzdata as Multi-Arch: foreign
Package: tzdata
Version: 2011a-1
Severity: minor

Hi Clint,
I've just pushed a patch to the tzdata package in Ubuntu to mark the tzdata
binary packages as Multi-Arch: foreign, in compliance with the plan for
multiarch described at <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec>. Since
eglibc in Ubuntu depends on tzdata this is somewhat critical-path there;
it's much less so in Debian, but it would still be technically correct for
the package there so I'm forwarding the change on for your consideration -
see attached patch.
Thanks,
