Hi,
Ubuntu has an 'lpia' architecture ("low-power Intel architecture"; name
selected by Intel), which is compatible with i386 but with different
optimisations. I understand that it's not entirely impossible that it
might be worth adding this to Debian too at some point, and certainly
e.g. Debian's dpkg supports it.
This architecture requires a trivial change to mbr's debian/control,
attached. Do you think you might be interested in including this?
Thanks,
