Nathanel's summary: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200304/msg02112.html A list of proposals what to do: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200305/msg00360.html Some questions on this topic: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200304/msg01895.html The solution I would favour would be: - drop the i386 support - keep the i386 architecture name - let dpkg-architecture output the new configuration string (i.e. i486-linux) - if anybody wants to start the mini-i386 architecture, we have to find an architecture name for it. changing the dpkg-architecture's ARCH string to i.e. i486 would break a lot of build scripts ... comments welcome.
