These multi-arch changes were correct (the packages cannot be
"Multi-Arch: foreign" because they provide architecture-specific
interface) but not ideal (architecture-specific packages should not be
"Architecture: all"). And problems created by this non-ideality are
mitigated by general uselessness of the packages (they are intented to
transition packages which were never in stable).

Also, multi-arch changes were described correctly in the changelog
before
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-multimedia/libav.git;a=commitdiff;h=677532340a55be1e0974de241f06aa605e2be083
The architecture change of libav-extra-dbg (with libav-regular-dbg
forgotten again) was in fact related to #680602, not #680613. And it
also creates architecture-dependent "Architecture: all" package
problems. Which are again mitigated by uselessness of the package
(it is not only intended to transition from package not found in
stable, but also does not have reverse dependencies).
