Usertags: rebootstrap
Control: affects -1 + src:norwegian src:quagga src:syncmaildir

The affected packages cannot satify their cross Build-Depends, because
their dependency on moreutils is not satisfiable. moreutils depends on
libipc-run-perl, which is Architecture: all and (implicitly) Multi-Arch:
no. It thus is not satisfiable. Now the primary way to interface with
moreutils is to run commands from the package. It only contains commands
and no libraries. Its commands have architecture-independent interfaces
(not dealing with architecture-dependent binary formats). That makes it
a good candidate for being marked Multi-Arch: foreign. Please consider
applying the attached patch.
