[Python-modules-team] Bug#892949: mark decorator packages Multi-Arch: foreign

Source: python-decorator
Version: 4.1.2-1
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
Control: affects -1 + src:dipy src:gr-gsm src:nipy src:pymvpa2 src:theano src:uc-echo

The affected packages cannot satisfy their cross Build-Depends, because
their dependency on python-decorator or python3-decorator is
unsatisfiable. In general, Architecture: all packages can never satisfy
cross Build-Depends unless marked Multi-Arch: foreign. I think that
marking these packages Multi-Arch: foreign is correct because:

 * All of them are Architecture: all.
 * All of their Depends are either annotated :any.
 * While the maintainer scripts produce architecture-specific Python
   bytecode files, this bytecode matches whatever Python happens to be
   installed. Also Python modules can be used without pre-compiled
   bytecode files, so embedded interpreters for a foreign architecture
   (a very uncommon case) continue to work (albeit a bit slower).

Please consider applying the attached patch.

Helmut
