Bug#263743: Please use "linux-" prefix

He's not. There are 2 different questions about consistency. You
cannot fulfil both of them at the same time. Scott and I care about
the Linux arches being consistent. (Well, I'm not speaking for him,
but that's how I understand his mails.) Calling it linux-powerpc64
now would make it inconsistent will all the Linux arches, whereas
calling bsd and hurd os-arch is consistent with what we have had for
years (with the Hurd) and doesn't break Linux consistency. Given that
Linux is way more popular and the only released arch this is imho what
counts more. (And as I said, the ideal solution would be to split
Architecture into Architecture and Kernel, I suppose).
