The affected packages cannot satisfy their cross Build-Depends, because
their (transitive) dependency on valac-0.34-vapi is not satisfiable. In
general, Architecture: all packages can never satisfy cross
Build-Depends unless marked Multi-Arch: foreign. In this case, such a
marking is correct as valac-0.34-vapi does not have any dependencies nor
maintainer scripts.
It is not clear whether fixing this bug actually makes any of those
packages cross buildable. Still we'll only see that after trying and
that necessitates having satisfiable cross Build-Depends. I guess that
for most of them valac is currently requested for the host architecture,
but will practically be needed for the build architecture.
Despite the apparent need for more work, please consider applying the
attached patch to make diagnosing the next issues easier.
How do you feel about applying the patch included along this bug report?
It affects packages needed when bootstrapping new architectures, and the
patch is quite straightforward and unlikely to cause harm.
Cheers.
