Bug#414690: Revised descriptions for i386 package flavours



These are my proposed descriptions for the various flavours for i386:

[486_base]
class: old x86
longclass: single-processor 486 or later x86

[686_base]
class: modern x86
longclass: Intel Pentium Pro/II/III/4/4M/D/M, Xeon, Celeron, Core, Atom; AMD K6, Athlon, Duron, Opteron, Sempron, Turion, Phenom; Transmeta Efficeon; VIA C3 "Nehemiah" and C7

[686-bigmem_base]
class: x86 with PAE
longclass: Intel Pentium Pro/II/III/4/4M/D/M, Xeon, Celeron, Core, Atom; AMD Athlon, Duron, Opteron, Sempron, Turion, Phenom; Transmeta Efficeon; or VIA C7; 4-64G RAM

[amd64_base]
class: 64-bit x86
longclass: AMD64 and Intel 64

I believe these should make it clearer which flavour to choose.
However, I think the template itself should be improved to allow for
expanded explanation of the differences between flavours.

Ben.

Always try to do things in chronological order;
it's less confusing that way.
