Hi Sebastian,
I've just applied a patch to shared-mime-info in Ubuntu to mark the package
'Multi-Arch: foreign'; this indicates, per
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec>, that it will satisfy the
dependencies of packages of architectures other than the native
architecture.
Since shared-mime-info 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,
