Well, type-handling syntacticaly complete but it's still a hack. With this patch we get dpkg to handle Cpu/System natively instead of feeding it preprocessed information. I wrote type-handling with the idea that it'd eventualy be obsoleted by proper split cpu/system detection in dpkg. As the type-handling maintainer, I'll stop endorsing it once superceeden by dpkg. -- .''`.
