Hi folks,

Although libgnomecanvas is deprecated, there are third-party binary-only
packages in the wild that depend on it.  As a result, I think it's
worthwhile to have the package multiarch cross-installable.

To this end, please find attached a patch that marks libgnomecanvas2-common
Multi-Arch: foreign.  This patch has been applied in Ubuntu; I have not
taken the time to make libgnomecanvas2-0 co-installable, since users are
unlikely to need this library installed for more than one architecture at a
time.

Thanks for considering the patch.
