The problem is that libmarc-charset-perl contains architecture-dependent
SDBM files but is Architecture:all. This makes the package unusable
on other architectures, so I'm raising the severity of #429030 to grave.

The bug is in etch too, but confusingly the etch version of
libmarc-charset-perl (0.95-1) was built on i386 while the sid version
(0.97-1) was built on amd64.

The problem can be seen eg. with this one-liner:

% perl -MMARC::Charset -e 'print MARC::Charset::marc8_to_utf8("test")'

which works for me on etch/x86 and sid/amd64 but fails on etch/amd64
and sid/x86.

The obvious fix is to switch to Architecture:any. I believe this should
be fixed in stable too.

Cheers,
