[Python-modules-team] Bug#918803: python3-dialog: Please mark as "Multi-Arch: foreign"

Package: python3-dialog
Version: 3.4.0-1

Dear Maintainer,

In a multi-arch setup, the "python3-dialog" package should be able to
satisfy dependencies from other packages, as the Python interpreter in
combination with python-dialog can be used regardless of the
architecture of the depending packet.

For instance, when installing an i386 package which depends on
"python3-dialog" on amd64, the package manager should allow an already
installed python3-dialog (along with the python3:amd64) to satisfy the
dependency.

See
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec#Dependencies_involving_Architecture:_all_packages>
for details, and "python3-six" or "python3-nose" as somewhat similar
packages that already do this.

Regards, Rotty
