[pkg-netfilter-team] Bug#918787: ebtables: Please mark as "Multi-Arch: foreign"

Package: ebtables
Version: 2.0.10.4+snapshot20181205-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

In a multi-arch setup, the "ebtables" package should be able to
satisfy dependencies from other packages, as the binaries contained in
"ebtables" can be used regardless of the architecture.

For instance, when installing an i386 package which depends on
"ebtables" on amd64, the package manager should not force
installation of the i386 variant of ebtables, but use the (potentially
already installed) amd64 variant of ebtables.

See <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec> for details.

Regards, Rotty
