Bug#832501: firefox-esr: Please mark as "Multi-Arch: foreign" (or allowed)

Package: firefox-esr
Version: 45.2.0esr-1
Severity: wishlist
User: devel at kali.org
Usertags: origin-kali

In a Kali metapackage, we have a dependency on firefox-esr. But on arm64,
we would like to be able to install "firefox-esr:armhf" (which actually works
better right now). Unfortunately, firefox-esr:armhf can't fullfill the
"firefox-esr" dependency.

So I would like to consider whether you can add:
- either “Multi-Arch: foreign” (if you think there are no cases where a
  dependency on firefox-esr would require a "same-arch" logic)
- or “Multi-Arch: allowed” so that I can use the "firefox-esr:any"
  dependency for my case.
  
Cheers,
Raphaël
