So, finally after so much trial and error here is what I've done to
allow smooth integration of Debian 9 and Ubuntu 16.0 with spacewalk
Just to keep it simple
1. create channels: xenial-main + xenial-updates, xenial-security,
xenial-universe
2. tricky part syncing channels [ adding multi-arch header]:
#!/bin/bash
_BIN_PATH=/var/www/html/pub/spw_scripts
_URL_MAIN='http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/binary-amd64'
_URL_SEC='http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-security/main/binary-amd64'
_URL_UPD='http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/main/binary-amd64'
_URL_UNIV='http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/universe/binary-amd64'
_PKG_MAIN=/var/cache/rhn/repodata/xenial-main
_PKG_SEC=/var/cache/rhn/repodata/xenial-security
_PKG_UPD=/var/cache/rhn/repodata/xenial-updates
_PKG_UNIV=/var/cache/rhn/repodata/xenial-universe

trap 'echo "Ctrl-C detected."' 2
for (( i=$s ; i>0; i--));
do
echo -ne "\rFinishing sync in: $i seconds\033[0K"; sleep 1
done
echo -e "\nSync completed!"
trap 2

3. client side [ ubuntu/debian clients]
spw_srv=192.168.100.101
cat >/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50spacewalk<<FIX
#
# The configuration for apt-spacewalk
#
APT {
Update {
List-Refresh "true";
Pre-Invoke {
"/usr/lib/apt-spacewalk/pre_invoke.py";
}
Post-Invoke {
"/bin/sed -rie 's/^Package:
(cpp|guile-2.0|python(2.7|3)?)$/\0\nMulti-Arch: allowed/'
/var/lib/apt/lists/${spw_srv}_dists_channels\:_xenial-main_binary-amd64_Packages";
}
}
};
DPkg::Post-Invoke {
"[ ! -e /usr/lib/apt-spacewalk/post_invoke.py ] ||
/usr/lib/apt-spacewalk/post_invoke.py";
};
FIX
sed -i "s|'main'|'xenial-main'|g" /usr/lib/apt-spacewalk/pre_invoke.py
perl -pi -e "s/type='deb'/type='deb [trusted=yes] '/g"
/usr/lib/apt-spacewalk/pre_invoke.py
4. Now can perform apt-get update/upgrade w/o any issues after disabling
/etc/apt/source.list
