Bug#471870: lintian: Please add additional Debian architectures

[Michael Koch <konqueror@gmx.de>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.46
Severity: wishlist


While building a new version of my package jamvm I noticed this lintian
infomration line:

I: jamvm source: non-standard-arch-in-source-relation kfreebsd-amd64 [build-depends: libffi4-dev [amd64 kfreebsd-amd64]]

'kfreebsd-amd64' is a normal but unofficial Debian architecture. lintian
should in my opinion not complain about it.

I wrote the attached patch to fix this. I'm nor a lintian neither a perl
hacker.
