Bug#666153: texinfo needs multiarch metadata to ensure dependency satisfaction
Package: texinfo
Version: 4.13a.dfsg.1-8
Tags: patch
User: multiarch-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: multiarch
As part of making debian 'bootstrappable' we are making sure that at
least the core system is cross-buildable.
For build-dependencies to work properly under multiarch this package
needs to be marked
Multi-Arch: foreign
so that it can satisfy a build-dependency for any architecture. See
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/CrossDependencies and
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation for explanation and
background.
There are 339 packages which build-depend on this package. None of them
will be multiarch cross-buildable without this fix.
