[Bug 1054344] [NEW] Please mark xterm as "Multi-arch: foreign"

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

[Impact]
Marking xterm "Multi-arch: foreign" will allow 32-bit packages to depend on xterm and install successfully on 64-bit releases of Ubuntu from 11.04 onward.

Some 3rd party apps, such as Lotus Sametime, use xterm to display
messages.

[Test Case]
Build and install i386 packages on amd64 and attempt to depend on xterm.

[Regression Potential]
Minimal as this packaging change only means that pulling in the 64-bit xterm can satisfy the dependency of a 32-bit application.

Can we make this change for precise?
