Bug#676780: eject: please mark package eject as Multi-Arch: foreign

Package: eject
Version: 2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-10
Severity: normal

The eject package seems to provide an architecture independent command
line interface. That makes it a candidate for adding "Multi-Arch: same"
to the eject binary package in debian/control. About 15 reverse
dependencies could benefit from such tagging in a multiarch environment
(by making dependency resolving simpler). For details on the conversion
process see http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation. Thanks for
your help with the multiarch release goal.

Helmut

You mean "foreign" here, like you wrote in the subject, right?

I don't know if "foreign" is really correct, though. It would be
correct certainly if we only had Linux kernels. But the Linux version
will not work on kFreeBSD and vice versa, because some of the
kernel interfaces differ. Should I still add this?

Gruesse,
