[Bug 1175687] Re: Please mark rpm2cpio Multi-Arch: foreign

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

The problem with not piggy-bagging quantal & raring SRUs, is that 3rd-
party packages will get removed on upgrade from precise to
quantal/raring. Although, not many people are upgrading from precise to
quantal/raring, I wouldn't want to introduce upgrade issues, especially
for 3-rd party packages.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Marking rpm2cpio "Multi-arch: foreign" will allow 32-bit packages to depend on rpm2cpio and install successfully on 64-bit releases of Ubuntu which have multi-arch support.

  Some 3rd party apps depend on rpm2cpio.

  [Test Case]
  Build and install i386 packages on amd64 and attempt to depend on rpm2cpio.

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal as this packaging change only affects multiarch status.

  
  [Additional information]
  If accepted into Saucy, I'll submit patches for p, q, and r.
