Title:
  Please mark xterm as "Multi-arch: foreign"

Status in “xterm” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “xterm” source package in Precise:
  New
Status in “xterm” source package in Quantal:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Marking xterm "Multi-arch: foreign" will allow 32-bit packages to depend on 
xterm and install successfully on 64-bit releases of Ubuntu from 11.04 onward.

  Some 3rd party apps, such as Lotus Sametime, use xterm to display
  messages.

  [Test Case]
  Build and install i386 packages on amd64 and attempt to depend on xterm.

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal as this packaging change only means that pulling in the 64-bit xterm 
can satisfy the dependency of a 32-bit application.

  Can we make this change for precise?
