Did you look into whether we can instead mark tfdocgen Multi-Arch:
foreign? I suspect that every build-rdep will need the native version.
If so, marking tfdocgen means we can fix four packages with one upload.
The tricky question is whether the marking is actually correct.
Deciding will involve knowlegde of what precisely tfdocgen does, so this
likely needs help from the relevant package maintainer.
