severity 310796 critical
# Justification: breaks unrelated packages

Recent update of dpkg in unstable renders type-handling totaly unusable, and
thus breaking packages using it.
There are two problems, the first one (#310796) is dpkg-architecture not
providing a list of cpus and systems anymore. This is fixed in the attached
patch.
The other one is the change in DEB_*_GNU_CPU from "i386" to "i486". Since many
packages (including t-h itself in debian/rules, IIRC) used "i386", this is
broken now. I suggest adding a transitional s/i.86/i486/g regexp somewhere.
