Bug Description
[Impact]
Marking xterm "Multi-arch: foreign" will allow 32-bit packages to depend on xterm and install successfully on 64-bit releases of Ubuntu from 11.04 onward.
Some 3rd party apps, such as Lotus Sametime, use xterm to display messages.
[Test Case]
Build and install i386 packages on amd64 and attempt to depend on xterm.
[Regression Potential]
Minimal as this packaging change only means that pulling in the 64-bit xterm can satisfy the dependency of a 32-bit application.
Can we make this change for precise?
