architecture AMD64, not x86-64. I refer to LSB-Core-AMD64. I don't understand how using the same name for the Debian arch conflicts. http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/specs.php Perhaps you could state your concern more specifically.And not meaning to muddy the waters further, if x86_64 is the preferred branding and if special characters used as separators are impractical in architecture names, then I don't see why the reasonable alternates wouldn't include replacing the "_" with either nothing (x8664) or some other acceptable alphanumeric (x86x64). Still it isn't obvious to me whether the most acceptable of those would be better than amd64.
