Dear Maintainer,

I ran debootstrap and received this error: 
dpkg: warning: obsolete option '--print-installation-architecture', please use 
'--print-architecture' instead.

I've attached a patch that fixes this rather minor issue.

Thank you for all your work.

It's not usually worth to file such bugs against packages in obsolete
releases; this one has been fixed several years ago already.

Hardly. :-)

I don't know since when --print-architecture existed, but according to
the changelog it has done the same as --print-installation-architecture
since dpkg 1.13.1, released 2005.

Cheers,
