Control: affects -1 + src:libmaxminddb

libmaxminddb fails to cross build from source, because it fails to run
lowdown. This is due to lowdown being installed for the host
architecture. The usual fix for this is marking the affected package
(lowdown) Multi-Arch: foreign. In this case, I think that such a marking
is technically correct, because lowdown exclusively deals with textual
formats and thus does not exhibit any architecture-dependent aspects.
Please consider applying the attached patch.
