Bug#532013: Treats amd64 kernel modules on i386 as an error

[Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.9
Severity: normal

Debian supports a 64-bit kernel and 32-bit userland on x86.  This means
there are linux-image-*-amd64 packages for i386 that contain amd64 binaries.
lintian reports a huge number of error for these packages:
<http://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/debian-kernel@lists.debian.org.html#linux-2.6>.

Please change the rule for "binary-from-other-architecture" to allow amd64
binaries under /lib/modules/*-amd64 on i386.

Ben.
