Hi,

Please consider unblocking planned upload of package mate-terminal.

This upload fixes how mate-terminal is used as xterm
(x-terminal-emulator) alternative:

  * debian/control:
    + Make mate-terminal "Multi-Arch: foreign". (Closes: #774182).

-> On amd64 platforms, the above fix allows mate-terminal to be
co-installed with applications that are available for i386 only and that
depend on x-terminal emulator.

This change is not appropriate during the freeze.

  * debian/mate-terminal.{postinst,prerm):
+ Use mate-terminal.wrapper (instead of mater-terminal binary directly) as
      alternative for x-terminal-emulator. (Closes: #773431).

-> Before this upload we erroneously used the mate-terminal executable
directly as xterm alternative. However, mate-terminal directly does not
provide the correct set of cmdline options. The mate-terminal.wrapper
script has been written for this purpose specifically and we should have
used it in the first place, but did not...

This one is OK.

Please go ahead with the fix for #773431, and remove the moreinfo tag from
this bug once the upload is in unstable.

Package adapted to your request, rebuilt and uploaded+accepted in unstable.

Latest .debdiff attached.

Mike
