[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#790414: libjs-underscore: Please add a Multi-Arch: foreign field

[Maximiliano Curia]

Package: libjs-underscore
Version: 1.7.0~dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

The current version of libjs-underscore doesn't allow multi-arch packages to 
depend on it directly, as the current multiarch spec [1] and [2] require a 
Multi-Arch: foreign or allowed field in the Architecture: all packages.

In particular, this prohibits the use of ktexteditor in a multi arch 
environment without a bridge package [3], which is suboptimal.

So, while the Multiarch specs get worked on, could you please consider adding
the Multi-Arch: foreign field?

Happy hacking,
