Hi Maintainer

I've noticed some packages have used incorrect dpkg-architecturevariables, e.g. DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE instead of DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH.This may build successfully on the maintainer's amd64 machine, but couldFTBFS on i386 on the buildds.

It would be nice if Lintian could warn of possibly incorrect usage ofdpkg-architecture variables before the initial upload.


Regards
Graham
