We already have this with type-handling, but this kind of tag replacement
looks more like a hack to the eyes of the maintainer than a full replacement
for the Architecture field. We want something that can be used as default in
all packages. I.e., if the debian/control template file reads:
Cpu: any
System: any
then the maintainer will easily understand they're separate fields, and if
per wants to modify the setup (e.g. the package is i386-specific), only the
Cpu field will be touched, leaving the default for System.
