I think we can get rid of most of these warnings if we mark the packages
fp-units*${PACKAGESUFFIX} as foreign packages.
This also makes sens as one may want to have other architectures units
on his system for cross compilation. This can be seen as a progress
in #845498 <<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=845498">https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=845498</a>>.
What do you think?

If I knew what the correct multi-arch tags were for the current fpc

</pre></blockquote><div>I'm going to set all fp-units*${PACKAGESUFFIX} to foreign as I've stated above. This is probably the right choice as these files are the equivalent of lib* packages.

Would these tags need to change once we really fixed bug 845498?</pre><pre></pre></blockquote><div>I'll try to add the right tags so that we don't change anything when fixing #845498. Normally once we have the packages co-onstallable, we just need to ensure the cross compiler is installed and can use them by having the right fpc.cfg in /etc.</div><div><pre>-- <br></pre><span style="font-family: monospace; white-space: pre;">Cheers,
