Control: affects -1 + src:firefox src:firefox-esr src:libgap-sage src:nml
The affected packages cannot satify their cross Build-Depends, because
their transitive dependency on python-ply or python3-ply is
unsatisfiable. In general, Architecture: all packages can never satify
cross Build-Depends unless marked Multi-Arch: foreign. In these cases,
the only source of architecture-dependence is the Python byte
compilation, because there are no dependencies other than python and
their maintainer scripts do nothing but performing the byte compilation.
Still, python-ply is usable even without byte compiled files, so foreign
embedded interpreters (a very rare use case) continues to work. Marking
them Multi-Arch: foreign is a reasonable trade-off. Please consider
applying the attached patch.
