Bug#516856: lintian: don't emit binary-from-other-architecture for bi-arch packages



Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.6
Severity: normal

nsis on amd64 is built for i386 for portability issues. I can do this
because of libc6-i386, which is for running 32-bit apps on a 64-bit
system. Until Debian gets multi-arch support (hopefully for squeeze),
lintian should not warn about i386 binaries in an amd64 package when the
32-bit libraries such as lib32gcc1/libc6-i386/lib32stdc++6 are in the
package dependencies. Hopefully we'll get mult-arch soon and all this
nasty bi-arch stuff will go away.
