[Bug 957137] [NEW] (FTCBFS) gtk-doc needs multi-arch metadata to satisfy build-dependencies

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundation's Bug Bot (crichton):

Any package 'X' build-depending on gtk-doc-tools cannot be
cross-built because apt-get build-dep -a<arch> cannot satisfy X's
build-dependencies until

Multi-Arch: foreign

is added to gtk-doc-tools' control file, to indicate that this package from
any available arch will satisfy the dependency.

There are 113 packages which build-depend on gtk-doc-tools in main and
another 144 in universe. None of them will be multiarch cross-buildable
without this fix.

The attached patch has been tested in a precise chroot by applying it, building the package, uploading it to a local repo then checking that 
apt-get build-dep -a armel 
is not satisfied, doing apt-get update (and apt-get remove gtk-doc-tools) then observing that 
apt-get build-dep -a armel 
now either works or complains about something else being impossible.

** Affects: gtk-doc (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
