Package: sudo
Version: 1.9.15p5-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainers,

In a multi-arch setup, the "sudo" package should be able to satisfy
dependencies from other packages, as the binaries contained in "sudo"
can be used regardless of the architecture.

For instance, when installing an i386 package which depends on "sudo"
on amd64, the package manager should not force installation of the
i386 variant of sudo, but use the (potentially already installed)
amd64 variant of sudo.

See [0] and [1] for similar bugs reported (and acted upon) for
"ebtables" and "iptables", respectively, and
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec> for background information.
