Title:
  less: Add multiarch metadata

Status in “less” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “less” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  We are working on getting multiarch metadata correct throught the
  archive. This package needs to be marked 'Multi-Arch: foreign' for
  dependencies and build-depencies to work correctly in all cases.

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

  Multi-Arch: foreign

  is added to less's control file, to indicate that less from
  any available arch will satisfy the dependency. 

  59 packages in Ubuntu cannot be cross-built until this patch is
  applied.
