Dear Maintainer,

it is good that libpoppler44 is Multi-Arch: same (thanks), but it would be even better if the -dev packages were as well. libpoppler-dev has all its content in /usr/lib/$arch (except for changelog and copyright), so it seems really safe. The others should be as well, unless the includes
or the gir file contain build-generated arch-specific data.

What's the use case for marking libpoppler-dev as m-a: same? Alone it
has no value in being so.

Some dependencies may not be multiarch yet (qtbase5-dev) but I don't
think it should prevent from marking libpoppler-qt5-dev (which would
then become co-installable automatically when qtbase5-dev is updated),
and it doesn't concern libpoppler-dev.

- libqt4-dev (for libpoppler-qt4-dev) is not m-a: same safe
- qtbase5-dev (for libpoppler-qt5-dev) is not m-a: same safe
- libglib2.0-dev and the gir stuff (for libpoppler-glib-dev) are not
  m-a: same safe
so it is pointless mark those -dev as m-a: same, for now.
