[Bug 1034568] [NEW] build-essential shouldn't be Multi-Arch: foreign

[Adam Conrad]

Public bug reported:

During precise development, build-essential was incorrectly marked
Multi-Arch: foreign.  This directly contradicts the multi-arch cross-
building spec, and broke when dpkg started properly implementing that
spec in quantal.

This bug has already been fixed in quantal, but the fix should be
backported to precise for correctness (in case someone uses the quantal
dpkg with the precise build-essential, or some other interesting
combination).
