positives. Your issue should be fixed on all architectures (or at
least I hope) with this commit:

The issues surrounding multilib and cross building tools remain.
Keeping the bug open.

That's good; however, I'd like to know why is that tag even needed in lintian, and if removing that altogether wouldn't be the best course of action. Especially given that lintian already has a tag for the very same check, but with some multilib issues solved and more:

Maybe if you're concerned about some particular false negative of binary-from-other-architecture, you could work with that.
