Title:
  incorrect multi-arch related meta information.

Bug description:
  == SRU Impact ==
  overlay-scrollbar-gtk2:i386 is uninstallable on amd64, which blocks the installation of some packages.

  == Test Case ==

  On amd64:
  dpkg --add-architecture i386
  apt update
  apt install overlay-scrollbar-gtk2:i386

  Either this succeeds, or fails (this bug)

  == Regression potential ==

  Nil (or close enough)

  == Original Bug ==

  I'm on a 64-bit system trying to install "overlay-scrollbar-gtk2:i386"
  which depends on the "overlay-scrollbar:i386" package. "overlay-
  scrollbar:i386" doesn't have an install candidate because it's a
  "multi-arch" package. This should (or so I've been told) be reflected
  in the meta information of the "overlay-scrollbar" package but isn't,
  which is why the former package fails to install.

  As a more competent person than I put it:

  "The overlay-scrollbar package does not come in i386 or amd64 flavors;
  it comes as an "all" flavor, which installs on all archs.

  It appears to be missing the Multi-Arch: allowed header so it won't
  satisfy an i386 package depending on it. You should file a bug report
  asking that the missing header be added."
