Hi Shawn,

Thanks for your patch submission, sorry for the delay in responding to it.

Unfortunately I don't believe Multi-arch:Foreign is correct for graphviz
as this is intended to be used for arch:all support packages or packages
where it doesn't matter if its arch matches the one you are building
against.  This is very much not the case for graphviz.  See [1] for more
info.

However I have almost completed packaging the new upstream release
(2.28) and this includes Multiarch support.  It just needs some proper
testing, in particular with regards to the -dev package and checking if
rdepends correctly build against it.  I've not yet found the time to do
this, but you're welcome to give it a whirl if you wish.  The code is
currently in the git archive at [2] which you can build with the
'git-buildpackage' utility.

Cheers,
