Hi,
Some uninformed reactions.

The ABI part (e.g., sysv-, gnu-, or bsd-) describes instruction set
variant and conventions for function calls, dynamic linking, and
program startup. That last part often depends on libc. In this case,
it is mingw-w64, abbreviated as w64, I suppose. Why not plain
"mingw" --- are programs built with mingw32 unable to safely use DLLs
built with mingw64, for example?
The OS part (e.g., -linux) represents the kernel and maybe the
userland tools. Should it be "winnt"? What versions of Windows are
being targeted?
Functionally, the effect is to determine
DEB_HOST_ARCH
DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS
DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE
for use by debian/rules when building packages targeted at that
system. (I know you realize this, just reminding myself!)

So the value in the "GNU name" column is correct.
