Bug#695087: xauth: Please mark Multi-Arch: foreign



Package: xauth
Version: 1:1.0.7-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: crossbuild@debian.org
Usertags: cross

xauth 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 99 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 xauth for the architecture being built on, which is generally
best for tools as opposed to libraries.

  * Mark xauth Multi-Arch: foreign.
