Package: etherboot
Version: 5.4.2-1.2
Severity: normal

I really think that this package should be arch:all and not arch:any.

Rationale:

1) It make no sense to duplicate the same files in the archive, that is
   one package for each architecture, while the package content is the
   same.
2) The fact the package has to be built on i386/x86-64 doesn't mean it
   won't be useful for users of different architecture. Imagine I have
   an i386 computer I want to boot with PXE, and a eprom burner on a
   PowerPC machine. Installing etherboot on the i386 machine won't help
   me, while installing it on the PowerPC machine would allow me to burn
   the eprom that will be fitted in the 386 machine.

The debian/rules file should just make sure the package is built on an
i386 or amd64 architecture, and bail out if it is not the case.
