Backporting a multi-arched package

[Martin Eberhard Schauer <Martin.E.Schauer@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I contributed updated (and new)manpage translations for a
package which had not been updated for ages. Therefore I
would like to provide the German users of (old)stable with
 recent translations.

Last time I made my private backport I had to compile code
extracted from the sources (not part of Squeeze) and install that
package first. It worked on my Squeeze system, but I did not
manage to compile the main package in a pbuilder environment.

Now there is one more problem: I found the changelog entry

     Make $package Multi-Arch: foreign.

As Squeeze is not (?) multiarch-aware, the way to go would
be

   - make the build-dependency available in squeeze-backports,
   - backport the package reversing the multiarch stuff ?

Thank you very much (in advance) for your hints (to multiarch-doc)
and advice,

    Martin
