No problem.

I don't understand how graphviz itself could possibly be Multi-Arch:
same.  Things like libgraph4, sure, but you can't make a package that
ships compiled code in /usr/bin/ M-A: same - builds on different
architectures will inevitably clash - and it wouldn't really be very
useful to try.

M-A: same is normally for packages containing libraries and such, not
for packages containing executables on $PATH.  I certainly encourage you
to make libraries M-A: same wherever possible, but it's orthogonal to
this bug.

Cheers,
