Interesting, I didn't know that syntax is already supported. As far as I know, some packages still use the "(virtual) MA: foreign package" trick to encode cross-architecture dependencies - on a first check, at least primus and the proprietary NVidia drivers seem to do that. Does this mean they could add direct dependency/recommendation like "libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386" instead? However, aptitude does not seem to support this completely at this point: "aptitude show gcc-4.9-arm-linux-gnueabihf" omits the architecture qualifiers. Is that a bug?
