Title:
  python-all-dev, python-dev must be Arch: any for multiarch

Status in “python-defaults” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “python3-defaults” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The python-all-dev and python-dev packages are currently Architecture:
  all.  This makes them unusable for cross-building python extension
  packages, because these then get treated as packages of the native
  architecture, pulling in the native python2.7-dev / libpython2.7
  instead of the host-arch one that we need.

  Making them Architecture: any is a prerequisite for being able to grab
  python-all-dev:armhf (for instance) as a build-dependency.  More work
  beyond that will be needed to make this usable though, since
  libpython2.7 has a dependency on python2.7 (why?) and we can't replace
  the native python with the host one for a cross build.
