dose3 to the rescue!

In short, texlive-base and texlive-binaries get properly taken from amd64. But
texlive-binaries also depends on t1utils and thus draws in t1utils:amd64.
The problem is, that the source package mftrace also has a direct build
dependency on t1utils. Since t1utils is M-A:no, crossbuilding mftrace for armhf
will draw in t1utils:armhf.
So we have one dependency path to t1utils:amd64 and one to t1utils:armhf. But
they cannot be co-installed so a conflict is created.
It seems that t1utils is a collection of font conversion tools. Maybe it can be
marked M-A:foreign, which would fix this problem.
Thanks!
