 We need a new port because the binaries are incompatible with each
 others, we need a different triplet because it's a dpkg limitation.
 Perhaps we could change dpkg to not require that anymore, but we'd
 still need a new port.  We also need a different triplet for the
 multiarch use case; I know you're not too interested in multiarch
 yourself anymore, but it's safer to pick a different triplet
 nevertheless IMHO, using the vendor field.
