Subject: libdlib-data does not include Multi-Arch: foreign
Package: libdlib-data
Version: 18.18-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I've tried to install libdlib18:armhf in a multiarch setup. It failed with
libdlib18:armhf : Depends: libdlib-data:armhf but it is not installable.

I found out that libdlib-data is Architecture: All, but was missing Multi-Arch:
foreign in the package control. After adding this and repackaging, I managed to
install libdlib18:armhf without problems. See:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dlib/+question/405074

As requested I'm opening this bug to ask for Multi-Arch: foreign to be included
in the control of libdlib-data.

As far as I can see there are no objections to do so, only thing I'm not sure
about is if making libdlib-data Multi-Arch: foreign causes problems for
distributions with big-endianess.
