Hi,
Enough source packages (41 in unstable) Build-Depend on netpbm that it
would be very helpful to have it marked as "Multi-Arch: foreign", on the
basis that even though it's "Architecture: any" it doesn't matter which
architecture you get on a multiarch system as long as you can execute
the binary. This would make it easier to cross-build those packages.
The patch is trivial, but it follows in case it helps. Note that this
is independent of adding multiarch support to libnetpbm*.
* Make netpbm Multi-Arch: foreign, so that it can satisfy
cross-build-dependencies.
