This will allow wireless-crda to satisfy dependencies of
non-native-architecture packages.  In particular, this helps with
installing linux-image-generic:amd64 on i386, which is one of the early
steps involved in crossgrading an i386 system to amd64.

I think this package was going to be unseeded in favor of the Debian 
upstream packages.

Does this require a Main Inclusion Request ?

(Well, it's not seeded, but rather depended on by the kernel.)

No - it's a like-for-like swap.  Upload the kernel with that change and
we'll sort it out in the archive.

Done.

Leann - note that I've committed 'UBUNTU: [Config] Replace wireless-crda 
with crda,wireless-regdb' to Precise master-next

I uploaded crda and wireless-regdb with the 'Multi-Arch: foreign' patch. 
Is this something that upstream Debian is ready for?

Ah, thanks!

> Is this something that upstream Debian is ready for?

Yes, please forward it.  It won't do anything in Debian yet because dpkg
doesn't have multiarch support there as yet, but it's safe to add that
tag to Debian packages anyway and many of them already have it.

Cheers,
