Fwd: Re: not co-installable Multi-Arch:same packages

[Andreas Beckmann]

Dear maintainers,

you might consider doing a no-change upload for your package to get rid
of a bin-NMU and restore multiarch co-installability.
Ensure to build in a really clean sid chroot, otherwise another binNMU
could be required to "fix" your package and break MA co-installability
again.

If you file an unblock request, you should include a *binary* debdiff to
the packages in testing, too, to ensure no library dependencies from
unstable get picked up.

PS: libdmtx would have to go via t-p-u, I'll look into this in more
detail because there is another issue, too
