Bug#274677: dpkg-gencontrol broken on architectures with a "-" in their name

[Manuel Menal <mmenal@hurdfr.org>]

Hello,

 I think it'd be best for everyone, especially Debian, if you guys 
calmed down
about this issue. Scott, surely you've got better reasons for tagging 
this as
'wontfix' than personal problems with the reporter? Because that sure 
isn't a
reason for a wontfix.

 This bug is definitely easy to fix and annoying. It is needed to fix 
quite a
few other bugs, like #274704 (and not having Apache in an architecture 
is a big
problem, IMHO). Patch is included. Perhaps we could get rid of it 
quickly, and
not fight about severity ? Scott, could you tell us if this patch is 
going to be
applied, and when (next upload, perhaps ?) ? Marc, could you just calm 
down and
not change the severity as long as things go smoothly ?

 Thanks.
