Title:
  debiandoc-sgml needs multiarch metadata to ensure dependency
  satisfaction

Status in “debiandoc-sgml” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “debiandoc-sgml” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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-depenedency for any architecture. See
  http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/CrossDependencies and
  http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation for explanation and
  background.

  There are 11 packages in main which build-depend on this package (most
  notably apt), and another 22 in universe. None of them will be
  multiarch cross-buildable without this fix.
