Title:
  Please mark alsa-utils Multi-Arch: foreign

Status in “alsa-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Marking alsa-utils as M-A: foreign will allow i386 packages that depend on alsa-utils to install on a amd64 system. Since alsa interfaces are architecture independent, foreign seems like the correct marking.

  $ sudo apt-get install my-32-bit-app
  my-32-bit-app:i386 : PreDepends: alsa-utils:i386 but it is not installable

  [Test Case]
  Install a 32-bit package that depends or pre-depends on alsa-utils and have it properly install.

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal as this change on affects multi-arch status only.
