[patch] always send the full name on the --status-fd

[Michael Vogt <mvo@debian.org>]

Hi,

I would like to ask for the inclusion of the attached patch. It simply
makes dpkg always send the full pkgname:arch on the status-fd. This
will help the progress reporting code in apt. There is code in apt now
to deal with this case so its not urgent, but it still would be nice
if the status-fd had the full information for the frontends.

Cheers,
 Michael

Subject: [PATCH] Always send the architecture with the pkgname on the
 status-fd

The status-fd currently get the architecture information for some
packages but not for all packages. So fontends not expecting the
architecture information will break in subtle ways, i.e. progress
does not go from 0-100% as the frontend expects package names
without architecture information and gets some with and some without.

By always sending the architecture information this is consitent.
