Wouldn't that go in the wrong direction? I'd think that we want the
native systemd or policykit daemon to satisfy a foreign dependency,
and that's what `Multi-Arch: foreign` allows.

In fact https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec#line-1-3 suggests that
the scenario I ended up in *should* not have happened; the installer
should've preferred the native (amd64 for me) version of the package.

So that's an argument in favor of leaving things as they are.
