Conflicting advise of lintian and Multiarch hinter

["Thomas Schmitt" <scdbackup@gmx.net>]

Hi,

the package tracker page of libburn complains about two lintian errors
  https://lintian.debian.org/tags/multiarch-foreign-pkgconfig.html
  https://lintian.debian.org/tags/multiarch-foreign-static-library.html
Both are about the line
  Multi-Arch: foreign
which appears in debian/control only for binary package
  libburn-doc

The lintian advise is "Please remove the Multi-Arch: foreign stanza."

This directly contradicts a "Multiarch hinter" urge of september 2016
and advise which i got here:
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2016/09/msg00284.html
namely to add that line to -doc, where no "Multi-Arch:" was before.

(Further i wonder why only libburn gets the lintian errors but not libisofs
 and libisoburn, which have the same gesture in their control files.)


Which of the automats is right ?


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
