There is popcon, which I presume has enough detail. (It currently reports a total of 5 arm64 machines!). I think you need some indirection to work out what Debian release is in use, e.g. to look at the libc version or something. I try to install it on each new device, but it requires functioning outgoing email; that can be quite a headache on a device that doesn't otherwise need it. (Hmm, I've just looked this up; apparently it now tries to submit over HTTP and only falls back to email if that fails. And you can make it not fall back to email in its configuration file. Which is great, except that it still depends on an MTA (and tries to install exim by default). So I've just done apt-get install ssmtp popcon and added MAILTO= to /etc/popularity-contest.conf - and hopefully next week there will one more arm64 machine in the popcon report.) Cheers, Phil.
