Public bug reported:

I wanted to install coq:armel on Ubuntu 12.04 armhf system
(https://answers.launchpad.net/ac100/+question/218291 ), it depended
transitively on libenchant1c2a:armel, but aspell-en was an obstacle
(although I have it installed in my armhf system):

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libenchant1c2a:armel : Depends: aspell-en:armel but it is not installable or
                                 myspell-dictionary:armel but it is not

Can't the aspell-en package be labelled "Multi-Arch: foreign" to satisfy
deps when installing a foreign architecture pkg?

(A workaround could be editing /var/lib/dpkg/{status,available} and
/var/lib/apt/Packages*, like described in
http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/60287/4319 for emacsen-common.)
