This change hotfixes #1105138 (loss of Multi-Arch: foreign breaks cross
building of complexity) as requested by Helmut:
| I suggest that the restructuring discussed here is inappropriate for
| trixie and that it be considered for forky instead. Meanwhile, I agree
| that technically speaking M-A:foreign is wrong, but practically speaking
| dropping it breaks stuff that used to work, so maybe issuing a subtly
| wrong M-A:foreign for trixie is the lesser evil.
On a sidenote Excuse tells me autogen is a key package. I think that
label should be removed, autogen used to be very important with gcc and
gnutls build-depending on it but that time has passed.

The key package set is calculated, so it would need proper investigation
to conclude autogen doesn't belong there and why it's wrongly added. See
