The thing is that the bug will also be postet to debian-devel, where it
doesn't belong if it is architecture specific. It should be send to
debian-arch instead. For this some sort of architecture field is
neccessary. One could have it implemented by adding -arch to the
packagename, but thats probaly just as tidious as having an seperate
arch field.

Anybody else against or for it?
