Package: devscripts
Version: 2.12.6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: crossbuild at debian.org
Usertags: cross

devscripts is Architecture: any due to (I believe) debpkg and libvfork,
but on a multiarch system it doesn't matter which architecture you get
as long as you can execute its binaries.  It's also a build-dependency
of 290 packages in unstable.  Accordingly, it would be helpful to mark
it Multi-Arch: foreign to avoid blocking cross-builds of those packages.

  * debian/control: Mark devscripts Multi-Arch: foreign.
