[Bug 817181] [NEW] does not indicate foreign architecture when mentioning removal of non-host architecture packages

[Jelmer Vernooij]

Public bug reported:

aptitude currently did not mention that the packages it was about to
remove were for the architecture "i386" (while my host architecture is
amd64). This made it slightly worrying to see it propose the removal of
the "libc6" package.

It would be nice if it could, like apt-get, mention the architecture of
a package if it is foreign.
