Package: debhelper Version: 13.24.2 Severity: wishlist In https://bugs.debian.org/1103589, I noticed that the upstream CMakeLists.txt was misdetecting the intended host architecture as arm64 due to `CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR MATCHES "^(aarch64|arm64|armv[89].?|ARM64)$"`. debhelper's cmake buildsystem sets CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR when cross-compiling to armhf, but when not cross-compiling it allows cmake to use its default. According to https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR.html that falls back to CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR, which is just the output of `uname -m` when building on Linux.
For CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME it doesn't matter since the autodetection is pretty likely to be correct, but it's fairly well-known that `uname -m` is an inappropriate thing to use when configuring package builds. Should debhelper perhaps pass -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR also in the non-cross-compiling case?
