Hi Colin,
Apologies for not responding sooner, but I've been taking a bit of an
hiatus from graphviz while the freeze was in place.
Can I just clarify - is your suggestion of "Multi-Arch: foreign"
intended as a stop-gap pending the implementation of a full Multi-Arch
implementation of graphviz? The reason I ask, is because I have 2.28
waiting in the wings on the git archive which has multi-arch implemented
(or nearly so, I just need to test the -dev package and then actually
mark the packages Multi-Arch: same).
Would a Multi-Arch:same graphviz meet your needs? If so, I'll close
this bug with 2.28 when it's uploaded. (If not, I've badly
misunderstood something somewhere).
Cheers,
David.
