git is architecture-dependent, but as far as I know exposes no
architecture-dependent interfaces (i.e. it doesn't matter which
architecture you get as long as you can execute its binaries); and it is
a build-dependency of some packages (the example I ran into was
gettext). As such, it should be marked "Multi-Arch: foreign" so that
its reverse-build-dependencies can be cross-built more easily. In fact,
as far as I can tell there's no reason why all the binary packages
produced by git shouldn't be M-A: foreign.
* Mark all binary packages Multi-Arch: foreign.
