I just wanted to install mupen64plus-ui-console:i386 on amd64 to verify some
user problems and it failed because it could not find ttf-bitstream-vera:i386.
This package manager behavior seemed new to me but it seems the multiarch
documentation [1] agrees with it. This font package doesn't depend on other
architecture dependent packages (directly and indirectly) and should therefore
not break any assumption.
Can you please mark this package as 'Multi-Arch: foreign'. But please check
the documentation because I've just did a quick check after not reading it
for a long time.
Thanks
