[Aptitude-devel] Bug#1038448: aptitude: sometimes aptitude prefers foreign architectures when using safe-upgrade

Dear Maintainer,

This bug is now happening every time a new kernel version comes to the
repositories. It really doesn't feel like safe-upgrade is the correct
name for this parameter when it is pulling in a foreign architecture
package that breaks building some kernel modules. Could someone please
have a look at this? Again here is the output of my safe-upgrade
command:

$ sudo aptitude -sv safe-upgrade
