[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#843507: mark xml-core Multi-Arch: foreign

[Helmut Grohne]

Package: xml-core
Version: 0.16
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
Control: affects -1 + src:balsa src:buzztrax src:cheese src:ddccontrol src:ekiga src:gbonds src:gjiten src:gnote src:grcm src:grdesktop src:grhino src:jhbuild src:nemiver src:oregano src:pioneers src:qalculate-gtk src:rarian src:referencer src:synaptic src:terminatorx src:xmlroff

The affected packages fail to cross build from source, because their
build dependency on xml-core is not satisfiable. In general,
Architecture: all packages can never satisfy cross Build-Depends unless
marked Multi-Arch: foreign. Determining whether Multi-Arch: foreign is
not trivial to determine and thus not hinted by the multiarch hinter.
Let's try anyway:
 * Architecture: all package -> check.
 * Dependencies:
   + perl removed #840410
   + sgml-base became Multi-Arch: foreign in 1.29
   + sed is Multi-Arch: foreign
   -> check.
 * Maintainer scripts are harder, because xml-core has a few and
   provides triggers. I looked into them and didn't find any
   architecture-specific behaviour as they're all (including
   update-xmlcatalog) operating on text files. -> check.
Thus I think that the marking is correct. Please consider applying the
attached patch.
