Re: smarter way to differ architectures needed?

Aehm, to debian/control?? That doesn't make sense. debian/control
contains static infos, whereas who compiled a pkg is dynamic.
Oh, I see, you probably mean the control file of packages. Then we
have the following problem: The name of the builder is available only
in dpkg-buildpackage and passed to dpkg-genchanges. dpkg-gencontrol
never sees it... expect we make some tricks with environment variables
or the like.

What's then the difference in semantics of Maintainer: and Uploader:
in the .changes? Maintainer: always the source maintainer, and
Uploader: is different only for NMUs?
BTW, I'm not the right one to do this proposal, as I'm going to
Australia (vacation) this Sunday for 4 1/2 weeks...
