There is popcon, which I presume has enough detail. (It currently
reports a total of 5 arm64 machines!). I think you need some
indirection to work out what Debian release is in use, e.g. to
look at the libc version or something.
I try to install it on each new device, but it requires functioning
outgoing email; that can be quite a headache on a device that doesn't
otherwise need it.
(Hmm, I've just looked this up; apparently it now tries to submit
over HTTP and only falls back to email if that fails. And you can
make it not fall back to email in its configuration file. Which is
great, except that it still depends on an MTA (and tries to install
exim by default). So I've just done
apt-get install ssmtp popcon
and added
MAILTO=
to /etc/popularity-contest.conf - and hopefully next week there will
one more arm64 machine in the popcon report.)
Cheers, Phil.
