it might be worth considering whether we could instead solve all the
real instances of A->B->C/D in the archive by converting all B to Arch:
any in wheezy, and then just allowing the package manager to treat
*all* Arch: all packages as implicitly satisfying foreign-arch deps in
jessie.
If a Python module depends on an arch:any Python module, then it must
not be treated as MA:foreign. Otherwise you would get a dependency chain
like this:
foo:amd64 (linked to libpython2.7:amd64) -> python-bar:all -> python-baz:i386
So with your proposal, we would have to convert tons of arch:all Python
modules to arch:any.
