Hi Theppitak,
I've just applied a patch to libthai in Ubuntu to mark the libthai-data and
libthai-doc packages 'Multi-Arch: foreign'; this indicates, per
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec>, that they will satisfy the
dependencies of packages of other architectures when installed.
Since libthai is rather low in the desktop stack, and 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,
