Package: intltool
Version: 0.50.2-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch precise

Hello,

In https://launchpad.net/bugs/957094 it was reported that intltool
is one of the major causes of uninstallable build dependencies for
multi-arch cross builds.

As per the Multi-Arch spec this package should be marked as "foreign".
Simple debdiff attached, by Launchpad user "wookey".

Thanks for considering,

Martin
