Control: affects -1 + src:mancala
mancala fails to cross build from source, because it fails to run
fdesign, which comes from the libforms-bin package. libforms-bin is
installed for the host architecture and thus cannot be run. To get it
for the build architecture, some dependency needs to be annotated with
:native or :any or some package needs to be marked Multi-Arch: foreign.
I think that libforms-bin is the package that needs this marking. It's
nice to see that libforms-bin and libforms-dev are already laid out in
exactly the way needed for doing so. libforms-bin contains two tools
that convert textual files (fd) into other textual files (C source and
postscript). As such their behaviour is not architecture-dependent. This
property is usually expressed as "Multi-Arch: foreign". Therefore please
consider applying the attached patch.
