Bug Description

Any package 'X' build-depending on intltool cannot be
cross-built because apt-get build-dep -a<arch> cannot satisfy X's
build-dependencies until

Multi-Arch: foreign

is added to intltool 's control file, to indicate that intltool from
any available arch will satisfy the dependency.

There are 171 packages which build-depend on intltool in main and
another 545 in universe. None of them will be multiarch cross-buildable
without this fix.

This fix has been tested in a precise chroot

apt-get -s build-dep -aarmel notification-daemon

E: Build-Depends dependency for notification-daemon cannot be satisfied because package intltool has no candidate version

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove intltool (this needed due to bug LP: #948045)

apt-get -s build-dep -aarmel notification-daemon
