Thanks for this advice; maybe it would be useful to put it in a NEWS
file to help people upgrading.  Minor nitpick: I believe "solution"
means "workaround" above (a solution would involve dpkg automatically
or by request filling in the architecture fields with a safe default,
like always putting in the native architecture --- yes, this would be
technically inaccurate if the package had been installed with
--force-architecture or was an arch-all package, but I don't see how
it would cause any problems).
