--------------------------------
This change hotfixes #1105138 (loss of Multi-Arch: foreign breaks cross
building of complexity) as requested by Helmut:
| I suggest that the restructuring discussed here is inappropriate for
| trixie and that it be considered for forky instead. Meanwhile, I agree
| that technically speaking M-A:foreign is wrong, but practically speaking
| dropping it breaks stuff that used to work, so maybe issuing a subtly
| wrong M-A:foreign for trixie is the lesser evil.
On a sidenote Excuse tells me autogen is a key package. I think that
label should be removed, autogen used to be very important with gcc and
gnutls build-depending on it but that time has passed.
