[Bug 1036834] Re: [FFe] gdb should be marked "Multi-arch: allowed"

[Steve Langasek]

I created a test package locally that depends on gdb:any and was able to
successfully cross-install it on precise for testing purposes.  I
believe that confirms this fix.

Title:
  [FFe] gdb should be marked "Multi-arch: allowed"

Status in “gdb” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gdb” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Marking gdb "Multi-arch: allowed"  will allow 32-bit packages to depend on "gdb:any" and install successfully on 64-bit releases of Ubuntu from 11.04 onward

  This package is a required dependency of some third party
  applications, such as Lotus Notes.

  [Test Case]
  Install a 32-bit package that depends on gdb:any and have it properly install gdb (which is multi-arch capable by nature).

  [Regression Potential]
  Regression minimal as this change applies to multi-arch status only.  Packages can still depend on simply "gdb".

  Can we make this change for precise?
