As part of making debian 'bootstrappable' we are making sure that at
least the core system is cross-buildabale. 

For build-dependencies to work properly under multiarch this package
needs to be

marked Multi-Arch: foreign

so that it can satisfy a build-depenedency for any architecture. See
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/CrossDependencies and
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation for explanation and
background. 

There are 4 packages which build-depend on this package. None of them
will be multiarch cross-buildable without this fix.

This same change also fixes the different Ubuntu bug:
