Public bug reported:

[Impact]
Marking alsa-utils as M-A: foreign will allow i386 packages that depend on 
alsa-utils to install on a amd64 system. Since alsa interfaces are architecture 
independent, foreign seems like the correct marking.

$ sudo apt-get install my-32-bit-app
my-32-bit-app:i386 : PreDepends: alsa-utils:i386 but it is not installable

[Test Case]
Install a 32-bit package that depends or pre-depends on alsa-utils and have it 
properly install.

[Regression Potential]
Minimal as this change on affects multi-arch status only.

** Affects: alsa-utils (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
