Elements

Architecture

If a program needs to specify an architecture specification string in some place, it should select one of the strings provided by dpkg-architecture -L. The strings are in the format os-arch, though the OS part is sometimes elided, as when the OS is Linux. A package may specify an architecture wildcard. Architecture wildcards are in the format any (which matches every architecture), os-any, or any-cpu. For more details, see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-customized-programs.html#s-arch-specMandatory. Type string.

Multi-Arch

This field is used to indicate how this package should behave on a multi-arch installations. This field should not be present in packages with the Architecture: all field.Optional. Type enum. choice: 'same', 'foreign', 'allowed'.

Here are some explanations on the possible values:

'allowed': allows reverse-dependencies to indicate in their Depends field that they need a package from a foreign architecture, but has no effect otherwise.
'foreign': the package is not co-installable with itself, but should be allowed to satisfy the dependency of a package of a different arch from itself.
'same': the package is co-installable with itself, but it must not be used to satisfy the dependency of any package of a different architecture from itself.

Section

Optional. Type uniline.

Priority

Optional. Type enum. choice: 'required', 'important', 'standard', 'optional', 'extra'.
