Package: kerberos-configs
Version: 2.6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Setting multi-arch to foreign allows the krb5-config package to be
used as a dependency of architecture-dependent packages, like
krb5-user. I filed a salsa MR for this at
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/kerberos-configs/-/merge_requests/1

For example, with this fix the following will work on an amd64 host:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install krb5-user:i386

This is similar to
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/krb5/-/merge_requests/4, and Ubuntu
needs that change due to its phasing out of the i386 architecture. See
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2019-December/040859.html
and similar threads for details.

I realize this is not an immediate problem for Debian, but we would
like to keep the delta between these packages in Ubuntu and Debian to
a minimum.

Thanks!
