Thanks, Helmut, sounds good. I will prepare a new upload of openscad-mcad
shortly and include this fix (unless you want to NMU it before that).

(Just for reference, the reason for openscad's build-dependency on
openscad-mcad is because it is used in the test suite, which is run as part
of the build. However I assume (?) that a cross build will not run the test
suite and so the build-dependency is actually redundant in this case.
However using Multi-Arch: foreign as suggested seems to be a good solution.)

Bug#933209: mark openscad-mcad Multi-Arch: foreign

[Helmut Grohne]

Package: openscad-mcad
Version: 2019.02-1
Tags: patch
User: debian-cr...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: cross-satisfiability
Control: affects -1 + src:openscad

openscad fails to cross build from source, because its build dependency
on openscad-mcad is unsatisfiable. In general, Architecture: all
packages can never satisfy cross Build-Depends unless marked Multi-Arch:
foreign or annotated :native. In the case of openscad-mcad, Multi-Arch:
foreign makes sense, because it is a pure data package. It does not have
any dependencies nor maintainer scripts and ships only .scad source
files (textual). Please mark it Multi-Arch: foreign.
