Bug#881890: gnome-doc-utils: Please mark the package as Multi-Arch foreign

[Guillem Jover]

Package: gnome-doc-utils
Version: 0.20.10-1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: Helmut Grohne <helmut at subdivi.de>

Hi!

Helmut mentioned that shadow cannot be bootstrapped because it
build-depends on gnome-doc-utils, which cannot be satisfied when
cross-building. And that because supposedly this package is being phased
out or is being deprecated upstream, that you might not be enthused
about making many changes to it.

I tried then to switch shadow to use a pure gettext solution (see #881889),
which revelaed that its XML support is not mature enough. Neither is
the one in itstool, apparently. :( Which would indicate to me also
that deprecating this project might seem premature?

So at this point I think the easiest way forward is to do this simple
change here (i.e. add a «Multi-Arch: foreign» field), which seems pretty
safe to me.

Thanks,
Guillem
