[Bug 1130709] Re: python-apt needs to be multiarched

[Steve Langasek]

The use case is a foreign-arch package that ships a python script which
uses python-apt.  You don't want to pull in the foreign-arch version of
python-apt (and python), you want the dep to be satisfied by the version
of python already installed plus the corresponding python-apt package.

So I think Multi-Arch: allowed is correct here.

  Currently, on amd64, it is impossible to express a dependency between an i386
  package and the native python-apt -- attempting to install the package forces
  python-apt:i386 to be installed, and python-apt:amd64 to be removed.
