Marking as M-A:foreign when reverse dependencies are M-A:same is wrong,
so I removed that.

M-A:same when package itself is arch-all is wrong too.

I don't want to bloat the Debian archive and pressure the auto-builders
with multiple identical copies, so I won't artificially mark the
package as arch-all.

What I find the correct goal here is for most possible packages to be
marked arch-all and M-A:foreign, and a stepping stone to get there is
to not do Multi-Arch marking at all until Arch marking is optimal.

In short, I won't mark M-A:foreign because that would imply marking as
arch-any, which I disagree with doing.

Thanks for bringing it up,

 - Jonas
