Bug#869758: libxml-simple-perl is not Multi-Arch compatible

[Hugh McMaster]

Package: libxml-simple-perl
Version: 2.22-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

The package libxml-simple-perl is not Multi-Arch compatible, so the
package cannot be installed concurrently on multiple architectures
(e.g. amd64 and i386).

This is a limitation to building 32-bit Wine on amd64, as the
package is a build dependency for both i386 and amd64 architectures.

The package does not have any files in /usr/lib, so there are
no conflicts. Also, the package is already marked as "Architecture: all".

I patched the control file to add "Multi-Arch: foreign" and
installed the package on amd64.

I then ran "apt-get build-dep -a i386 wine-development".
libxml-simple-perl was no longer listed as a conflict.

With this result, I propose the following patch:
