Yup; dpkg --print-architecture seems to return the architecture dpkg
was built for, so an armel dpkg would return armel (it would happen to
run thanks to qemu). dpkg-architecture runs "gcc -dumpmachine", so
would run the chroot's gcc to guess the architecture so same story:
gcc_armel would return an ARM triplet, but if you pass -a<arch> it
shouldn't matter. uname() is intercepted by qemu at least on ARM
(don't know about other arches), so will return armv7l or something
similar depending on the CPU you're actually emulating.
