Hi,

That's easy with dpkg-architecture (lots of examples of that these days).

You should also consider filing upstream related issues directly upstream in
addition to the BTS. Although Debian maintainers are encouraged to do that
themselves, and frequently do, sometimes (for example, for orphaned
packages) this ain't happen and can cause serious delays. Also, if upstream
has questions about the patch it's much easier if they get direct connection
to Hurd people.

Hell, this is more than minimal testing in my book, just go on and file
those reports :)
