Hi Graham,

So, DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE is used quite a bit already:

  https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE+path%3Adebian%2Frules&perpkg=1

My two questions at this point are:

  a) Should all of these really be DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH?

  b) Are there any other "incorrect → correct" mappings?


Best wishes,
