I think this is the answer https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port#Nomenclature_and_defines If your package does architecture-specific things explicitly then you will need to understand what names to use in tests. The gnu name for the architecture (as given to configure) is aarch64-linux-gnu. The debian name for the architecture is arm64 GCC defines __aarch64__ for the architecture. Be careful of things which check for arm* in debian architecture tests, as it is usually wrong to do the same thing for arm64 as for 32-bit arm (arm/armel/armhf). In general, if you are not sure, you should do the same thing as on amd64 as that matches quite closely (64 bit, little endian, 32-bit ints and floats, 64-bit pointers, longs and doubles). Check the link below for 'upstream package porting' to see if your package has had porting attention from Linaro. There is also a big-endian version of the architecture/ABI: aarch64_be-linux-gnu but we're not supporting that in Debian (so there is no corresponding Debian architecture name) and hopefully will never have to. Nevertheless you might want to check for this by way of completeness in upstream code.
