Hi Noel,
I've just applied a patch to wget in Ubuntu to mark the package 'Multi-Arch:
foreign'; this indicates, per <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec>, that
wget will satisfy the dependencies of packages of other architectures when
it's installed.
Since it's perfectly safe to tag packages as Multi-Arch: foreign in advance
of a package manager that's capable of understanding this (which should be
along soon in any case), I request that this be set on the package in Debian
as well.
Thanks,
