Bug#252346: dpkg: Breaks the debian-amd64 port

[Goswin von Brederlow <brederlo@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.22
Severity: critical
Tags: sid
Justification: breaks the whole system

Hi,

the sudden renaming of the architecture from amd64 to x86-64 breaks all
of the debian-amd64 port. All packages become uninstallable and no upgrade
path is provided.

Please change the name back to amd64 asap and next time consult the
debian-amd64 port mailinglist (and not $RANDOM DD using amd64) before
doing such a drastic change.

MfG
	Goswin
