[Bug 967301] [NEW] gawk needs multiarch metadata to ensure dependency satisfaction

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

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

As part of making Ubuntu  'bootstrappable' we are making sure that at
least the core system is cross-buildable.

For build-dependencies to work properly under multiarch this package
needs to be marked

Multi-Arch: foreign

so that it can satisfy a build-dependency for any architecture. See
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/CrossDependencies and
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation for explanation and
background.

There are 31 packages which build-depend on this package in main and
another 91 in universe. None of them will be multiarch cross-buildable
without this fix.
