The reason klive don't list all 12 archs is primarly because there are
no klive users coming from all those 12 archs. See the unknown list.
If you can improve this regexp (which seems the way to go for now)
you're very welcome:
'Debian' : re.compile(r'^(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)(?:-git(\d+)|\.(\d+)|-rc(\d+))?-(\d+)-(?:[3456]86|k7|generic|amd64-k8)')
Right now I only added the basics to catch the most frequent archs in
klive unknown listing, it's true I can't catch all 12 archs if somebody
would be running klive on top of them.
Since the ubuntu kernel seems to be very different from debian kernel, I
wonder how I can detect it with uname -r, I guess I can't right now.
Anyway klive was made primarly for mainline, so I don't care that much
if I can't differentiate between debian and ubuntu.
