[Bug 1010448] Re: grep*.deb is missing "Multi-Arch: foreign"

[Jamie Strandboge]

Thanks for your work on this. Unfortunately the precise debdiff has the following problems:
 * because this is a SRU, it needs to target precise-proposed, not precise
 * the version number should be 2.10-1ubuntu0.12.04.1 as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure
 * debian/changelog is too terse and doesn't explain why the change is needed

The quantal debdiff has the following problems:
 * because this will need an SRU, it needs to target quantal-proposed, not quantal
 * the version number should be 2.10-1ubuntu0.12.10.1 as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure
 * debian/changelog is too terse and doesn't explain why the change is needed

This should also be forwarded to Debian. Can you update the debdiff and
resubscribe ubuntu-sponsors? Thanks!
