(FTCBFS) Needs multi-arch metadata to satisfy build-dependencies

[Wookey]

Any package 'X' build-depending on xfonts-utils cannot be
cross-built because apt-get build-dep -a<arch> cannot satisfy
X's build-dependencies until

Multi-Arch: foreign

is added to xfonts-encodings's control file, to indicate that xfonts-encodings from
any available arch will satisfy the dependency for xfont-utils.

There are 5 packages which build-depend on xfonts-utils in main and
another 34 in universe. None of them will be multiarch cross-buildable
without this fix.
