We've tried, but getting there has proved difficult. For the foreign
annotation, the major difficulty is striking a good balance between a
readable text and including enough detail to cover corner cases.

You can find my own attempt at
https://wiki.debian.org/DependencyHell#Multi-Arch:_foreign

This has been used as a basis for the relevant policy bug #749826, but
progress has stalled there
https://salsa.debian.org/dbnpolicy/policy/-/compare/master...bug749826-spwhitton

Does this count as authoritative documentation to you?

Feedback on these texts (in particular on how easy they are to
understand) would be very welcome.

Helmut
