The line wrapping in the PO / email hasn't helped, but the warning is
singular.

The context for this is that multistrap is listing a package which is
architecture-independent but which has an invalid value for the
Multi-Arch field. Imagine quote marks around "Architecture: all". The
warning gets repeated if other such errors are found.

(mangled to avoid unexpected line breaks):

Warning: invalid value '%s' for
Multi-Arch field in 'Architecture: all' package: %s.

I've added a comment for translators for next time.

Yes, that is a bit confused in the output code too. I don't think the
plurals are actually necessary. I'll sort that out and preserve the
existing translation as a singular. (e.g. by unwinding the array and
listing each in turn). Hooks themselves may disappear in future
revisions of multistrap. I can edit the PO file(s) to match once I've
sorted it out.
