[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#1006875: samba-libs: The dependency on python3-talloc breaks multiarch support

[Francois Gouget]

Package: samba-libs
Version: 2:4.13.13+dfsg-1~deb11u2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

samba-libs claims to support multiarch (Multiarch: same) but it depends
on python3-talloc which does not support multiarch.

python3-talloc seems to depend closely on the main python3 package so
I am not sure it would make sense to make it multiarch. So maybe it is
samba-libs that should not depend on it. Could the dependency be moved
to another package which would be, for instance, multiarch=foreign?

As is this prevents proper support for Samba NetAPI in 32-bit Windows
applications because of this dependency chain:
  32-bit Windows application -> 32-bit Wine -> 32-bit libnetapi.so ->
  samba-dev:i386 -> samba-libs:i386 -> python3-talloc:i386 which
  conflicts with python3-talloc:amd64
