Package: build-essential
Version: 12.9
Tags: patch
As part of the whole "for-host" thingy, we need to make build-essential
"Multi-Arch: same". Doing so is presently impossible as its
essential-package-list varies per architecture on a fixed filename.
Attempting to coinstall it would result in an unpack error.
To resolve this part, I propose encoding the architecture name into the
filename. I've checked for users of this file and found none, so the
move should be harmless. Please consider applying the attached patch.
