I just see (probably Ubuntu contributed code) at libdebian-installer:
static const char *supported_generic_subarches[] = {
"dove",
"omap",
"omap4",
"mx51",
NULL
};
and machine mappings has:
{ "Freescale MX51 Babbage Board", "imx5" }, /* iMX51 reference hardware. */

Would it break 'others' configurations if we set/change 'mx5' as
subarchitecture, which seems to be the most reasonable one at the
moment.
