I think that kernel-wedge should be testing the environment variables
$DEB_HOST_* before calling dpkg-architecture, e.g.
arch=${DEB_HOST_ARCH:-$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH)}

perf will be built as part of the linux-tools (formerly
linux-kbuild-2.6) source package in future. Please to try to fix
trunk/linux-tools, if it is similarly broken.
