[Python-modules-team] Bug#892938: mark nose packages Multi-Arch: foreign

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: nose
Version: 1.3.7-3
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
Control: affects -1 + src:aff4 src:gamera src:imposm-parser src:ioprocess src:libvigraimpex src:nvme-cli src:odil src:pdf2djvu src:py-radix src:pykdtree src:python-lz4 src:python-maxminddb src:python-pygraphviz src:python-qcli src:python-setproctitle src:simpleparse

The affected packages cannot satisfy their cross Build-Depends, because
their dependency on python-nose or python3-nose is unsatisfiable. In
general, Architecture: all packages can never satisfy cross
Build-Depends unless marked Multi-Arch: foreign. I think that marking
these packages Multi-Arch: foreign is correct because:
 * All of them are Architecture: all.
 * All of their Depends are either annotated :any or marked Multi-Arch:
   foreign themselves.
 * While the maintainer scripts produce architecture-specific Python
   bytecode files, this bytecode matches whatever Python happens to be
   installed. Also Python modules can be used without pre-compiled
   bytecode files, so embedded enterpreters for a foreign architecture
   (a very uncommon case) continue to work (albeit a bit slower).

Please consider applying the attached patch.

Helmut
