Package: ca-certificates-java
Version: 20161107~bpo8+1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Tried to install foreign i386 jre without native amd64 jre
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Effective: installing one amd64 jre (any version)
Ineffective: tried to find a set of packages where i could install only
a foreign i386 jre
* What was the outcome of this action?
Seems like ca-certificates-java (in backports) depends on
openjdk-7-jre-headless | java7-runtime-headless, but only the native
amd64 runtimes are allowed
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Allowed to install foreign i386 jre to satisfy dependency.
I think the fix is to add `Multi-Arch: foreign` to the control file, but
I couldn't find this field in the manual at
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-controlfieldslist
