Package: rename
Version: 0.20-4
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

The package rename is not multi-arch compatible, so it cannot
satisfy build dependencies across different architectures
(e.g. i386 and amd64).

The package is already Architecture: all, so there are no
conflicts with files installed in /usr/share/* or /usr/bin.

Also, I could not see any potential problems with the executable
script in /usr/bin, or with the 'prerm' or 'postinst'
maintainer scripts.

In summary, this package is a good candidate to become
Multi-Arch: foreign.
