So, they are not 'Multi-Arch: foreign' too. First, why do these packages need to be cross-installed? If they don't need to be, then there's no reason to set the Multi-Arch field on them at all. Second, why does the Multi-Arch: allowed option not implement what you need? It seems ok to me if Multi-Arch: allowed eventually becomes the dominant use case. But there aren't thousands of packages in Debian with "-dbg" reverse-dependencies, anyway, so this seems to be a complete non-issue in the short term. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
