Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.10.9
Severity: normal
On the HPPA architecture all the data that dpkg-architecture returns refers to
"hppa" and makes no reference to "parisc" (as used in the kernel source).
This makes it very inconveniant when searching for a reference to the
architecture in a kernel patch (I currently use "sed -e s/hppa/parisc/").

I'm going to reject this wishlist bug.
It's a valid concern for dpkg to be able to know what operating system
and CPU it is running on, and we have a convention of choosing names for
those.
It's also a valid concern for dpkg-architecture to be able to supply GNU
triplets for the systems it knows about so software can be built on
them.
I don't think it's a valid concern for the Linux kernel names for the
architectures; we'd also need fields for the FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Darwin and Hurd kernel names for each architecture where they differ
too.
While a reasonably important one, the kernel is just another package, so
I don't think we need to cater for its names just as we don't need to
cater for Perl's configure names, etc.

Have you ever, ever felt like this?
Had strange things happen? Are you going round the twist?
