I see that there is now a lintian check for this issue whcih is great,
and gives us some idea of how big it is:
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/old-style-config-script-multiarch-path.html
So that lists 240 packages which are MA:same and also contain an
arch-specific foo-config script.
The assumption that the tag would only hit MA:same packages is wrong.
It hits e.g. libgpg-error-dev, which is correctly not marked MA:same.
In defense, this tag is very young and correctly marked with with low
confidence.
The intention was to check only MA:same and MA:foreign packages (and
arch:all packages, but that's a separate tag), but because of a bug
MA-less packages are checked too. This will be fixed in the next Lintian
release.
