The proposal makes perfect sense, I just have one concern: I see that
dpkg-buildpackage takes an architecture flag, but I don't think
there's a way to specify a "system type" (i386-hurd, for example). If
I want to put stuff in /usr/local, should I do i386-linuxlocal, and
how? I think it would be nice to:
dpkg-buildpackage --system-type i386-linuxlocal
(or something). And, if that's the case, probably the system type
should be part of the deb (the Architecture field)?

PS. I'm not very familiar with the build process, so maybe this makes
no sense. Also, is it possible to compile hurd packages on linux
build machines?
