Bug#645962: openal-soft: Please mark libopenal-data multi-arch: foreign

[Steve Langasek]

Package: openal-soft
Version: 1:1.13-4
Severity: normal

Hi folks,

Thanks for your work in supporting multiarch in openal-soft!

When testing libopenal1's multiarch support in Ubuntu, I found one glitch.
libopenal1 depends on libopenal-data, and even though libopenal-data is an
Architecture: all package, it needs to be marked Multi-Arch: foreign to be
recognized as satisfying the dependencies of packages of other architectures
besides the primary dpkg architecture.

(The messy details of why this is the case can be found in
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec>.)

Please consider applying the attached patch in Debian, to complete the
multiarch transition for libopenal.

Thanks,
