Bug#424041: type-handling: No longer uses system parameter as recognized by dpkg-architecture

[Sjoerd Simons <sjoerd@luon.net>]

Package: type-handling
Version: 0.2.19
Severity: important

Hi,

  The new dpkg changes the debian names of the various systems in
  /usr/share/dpkg/ostable. Which means that no type-handling doesn't do what's
  documented anymore.

  For example ``type-handling any linux-gnu'' outputs an empty string instead
  of the arch list as should be (and as shown inthe manpage)
