Bug#680613: libav: Multi-Arch: foreign libraries

Source: libav
Version: 0.8.3-4
Severity: important
User: multiarch-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: multiarch


libavutil-extra-51, libavdevice-extra-53, libavfilter-extra-2,
libpostproc-extra-52, libavformat-extra-53 and libswscale-extra-2 are
Multi-Arch: foreign transitional packages.

This allows the packages to satisfy dependencies of
foreign-architecture packages while providing only libraries for
a native architecture, which is obviously incorrect.

Transitional library packages should be Multi-Arch: same (but that
would require making them Architecture: any). I guess these packages
should just be removed, as the only non-transitional versions of the
packages still existing in Debian are uninstallable 4:0.7.2.1~bpo60+1
packages in backports and obsolete 4:0.7.2.1+b1 armhf on debports.
