Dear Maintainer,

I was trying to install some packages while having an additional arch active (`dpkg --add-architecture amd64`)

`apt-get` reports no installable candidate for `geocode-glib-common`, this is just a bunch of icons for arch `all`.

Since

```
sed -i -z -E 's/((Package: geocode-glib-common(.|\n|\r)*Architecture:) all)/\1\nMulti-Arch: foreign/g' debian/control
```

and rebuilding fixed the issue, I assume that `Multi-Arch: foreign` need to be added to `debian/control`.


Greetings!
