man2html-base contains the man2html tool that turns one text format
(man) into another text format (html). Since it doesn't interact with
binary formats much less architecture-dependent binary formats it seems
relatively safe to mark it Multi-Arch: foreign.
As it happens, bash started build-depending on man2html and that
dependency is presently problematic as the build tries to run a host
arch man2html. Adding the Multi-Arch: foreign here makes bash use the
build architecture man2html and thus it can run it during build.
I haven't looked into whether making man2html Multi-Arch: foreign is
sensible. For one thing it is harder to analyze and then I think bash
should be happy with just using man2html-base. So maybe we don't have to
think about it.
