Hello,

While trying to cross-build nvda2speechd, I had to make make the
mingw-w64 build-dep qualified :native.

Since the point of mingw-w64 is to provide a build environment for
mingw-w64, the actual architecture providing the package does not
matter, the result produced by the programs is the same, so it should be
marked

Multi-Arch: foreign

as the attached patch does, so we can drop the :native qualifier.

With regards,
Samuel

Now I know someone out there is going to claim, "Well then, UNIX is intuitive, because you only need to learn 5000 commands, and then everything else follows from that! Har har har!"
