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

[Mark Russell]

Public bug reported:

[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.

** Affects: rpm (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
