Bug Description
Due libutfcpp-dev from utfcpp source being architecture dependent and not on the Launchpad i386 whitelist other software that depends on libutfcpp-dev cannot build i386 binaries for Focal and newer series. This includes software that is on the i386 whitelist such as taglib, which as of version 1.12~beta (currently in Debian experimental) build-depends on libutfcpp-dev.
Various other software on the i386 whitelist such as VLC then build-depends on libtag1-dev from taglib source. So for example the future builds once taglib 1.12 has been released to Debian/Ubuntu archives will require libutfcpp-dev be arch-independent to allow successful builds of i386 binaries of other dependent packages. As utfcpp provides four headers only there should be no issue with making libutfcpp-dev arch-independent.
