Control: block -1 by 1029957

There are multiple reports asking libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev to be
marked Multi-Arch: same. Unfortunately, doing so would make the package
rc-buggy, because it would cause unpack errors from dpkg on
/usr/share/gir-1.0/GstAudio-1.0.gir when coinstalling with s390x.

The root cause of this is that g-ir-scanner produces architecture
dependent gir files and those are installed in /usr/share. Regardless of
Multi-Arch, this is a policy and FHS violation tracked as #1029957. So
in order to make this package (and many other packages shipping gir
files) eligible for Multi-Arch: same, this FHS violation must be fixed
first.  I've created that missing bug to centrally track progress and
block any Multi-Arch requests on it. That said, this is non-trivial.
Help is welcome.
