We'd still catch completely unknown architectures.
Currently, lintian has three different classifications of architectures:
known architectures that are officially supported by the project,
semi-official architectures supported by dpkg but not part of the main
archive, and completely unknown ones. It issues a W: tag for the last and
an I: tag for the second.
My proposal is to eliminate the I: tag and only have "architectures
supported by dpkg" and "completely unknown architectures." I don't think
the I: tag is ever helpful.
armel was already included in the list of dpkg-supported architectures.
