I do not know about the situation Colin has in mind, but the general requirement does exist in the archive right now. An example is src:guile-2.0. src:gnutls28 build-depends on guile-2.0-dev (i.e. it needs the host version) and also build-depends on autogen, which is M-A:foreign and indirectly also depends on guile-2.0-dev (i.e. it needs the build version). This situation currently is unsatisfiable, because guile-2.0-dev is M-A:no until #757591 is fixed. > If there's nothing that needs this right now, and we don't forsee > something like this arising, i'm inclined to close #643341 (marked > wontfix), and let the actual circumstances dictate what changes need to > be made when they do arise (possibly including re-opening this bug, or > just referring to the history here). If there was something like this in the archive already, then it should have been identified by botch[1] at http://bootstrap.debian.net/cross.html, but thus far I can only see guile there and not libgpg-error. That said, botch was wrong in the past. One thing that libgpg-error can do nonetheless is to move /usr/include/gpg-error.h to /usr/include/<triplet>/gpg-error.h. This avoids accidental inclusion of a wrong-architecture header. Refer to <[email protected]> section 3.4 for details or ask me. In any case, turning libgpg-error-dev M-A:same should be a goal (and arguably this is the current meaning of the bug being discussed). For this reason alone, I argue that it should be kept open (and possibly retitled to "make libgpg-error-dev Multi-Arch:same").
