This occured to me a while ago, shouldn't all (nearly all, since
debian =~ linux at this point) have linux-i386, linux-sparc,
linux-m68k, etc in their Arch: ?
either that your have something like
Kernel: linux
Arch: i386
originally i favoured the latter idea, but not anymore.
...
its certainly reasonable to have a transition period where
everything assumes i386 => linux-i386, but it seems more intelligent
for things to be represented as linux-i386, linux-ppc, etc.
