Bug Description

[Impact]
Marking alsa-base as M-A: foreign will allow i386 packages that depend on alsa-base 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-base:i386 but it is not installable

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

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

I believe this change is already in the packaging branches for raring. I'll post debdiffs for quantal and precise SRUs soon.
