graphviz is Architecture: any, but on a multiarch system it doesn't
matter which architecture you get as long as you can execute its
binaries. It's a build-dependency of 179 packages in unstable.
Accordingly, it would be helpful to mark it Multi-Arch: foreign to avoid
blocking cross-builds of those packages; that would allow cross-builds
to use the version of graphviz for the architecture being built on,
which is generally best for tools as opposed to libraries.
* Mark graphviz Multi-Arch: foreign.
