As I've mentioned elsewhere, the arch in the port name seems redundant and ugly in the same way as aarch64 was. Even though this has never been properly proposed for inclusion into dpkg, IMO the arch name should be something like loong, loong64 or loong32, depending on the intended support, etc. Just like with golang or Gentoo. > So the list should be called debian-loongarch instead.
