For cross-dependencies to work properly under multiarch this package needs to 
be marked

Multi-Arch: foreign

so that it can satisfy a build-dependency for any architecture. See 
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/CrossDependencies and 
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation for explanation and background. 

This enable both cross-grading between architectures and cross-building.
