I use dpkg-scanpackages -a $a -m $codename /dev/null >
dists/$codename/$comp/binary-$a/Packages

Although pretty much all the arguments are listed as optional in the man
page I had to specify all but the last when I was writing the script.
dpkg-scanpackages would complain otherwise.

I use -a i386 and the kernel for 686 was built with kernel-package on
amd64 and is marked as amd64 package which is why dpkg-scanpackages
ignores it.

I missed this issue, thanks for pointing it out.

I guess this is a problem with kernel-package because it can
cross-compile kernels but marks the package with the host architecture,
not the target.

The + is another "feature" of recent kernel-package, it marks kernels
built from git tree this way.

Thanks

Michal
