Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.4.1
The dpkg determines the architecture in which it's in from a build time
constant. This makes things difficult if we use host's dpkg to operate
on packages non-native to host, for example, with scratchbox2.
It would be nice if dpkg would read DEB_HOST_ARCH for example to user a
chance to override this if needed.
Patch included.

With multiarch this should be pretty much unnecessary. And in any case
I don't think this would be a good idea. So I'm wontfixing and closing
this request.
Thanks,
