Can't handle Multi-Arch: no

[Iain Lane]

[ Description ]

Multi-Arch: no is valid, but dose-distcheck gives a fatal error when it's encountered.

[ Proposed fix ]

Add "no" as a valid value, as for "none".

[ QA ]

Add a vivid deb line to sources.list on a trusty system.

(trusty-amd64)root@vivid:/# dose-distcheck deb:///var/lib/apt/lists/sherwood_ubuntu_dists_vivid_main_binary-amd64_Packages
Fatal error: exception Format822.Type_error("Field Multi-Arch has a wrong value : no")
(trusty-amd64)root@vivid:/# apt-get install dose-distcheck/trusty # install the new one
# […]

[ Regression potential ]

Adds a new accepted value to a case which is already handled. Could be that erroneous values are no longer rejected.

 [ Development fix ]

Fixed in 3.2.2-3, which is in vivid.
