It is indeed required on armel but your patch is buggy. You need to use DEB_BUILD_ARCH instead of DEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU, which is "arm" on both, whilc D_B_A is "arm" or "armel"
Good to know.
Actually your patch works fine, since D_A_B_CPU matches "arm" both on arm and on armel. My apologies
While it will as you say "work" it is not good to have a block of code that will both never match anything and will confuse anyone who reads it. I have attatched an updated one with a comment added and the armel test block removed.
BTW are you a DD and able to upload the patches for the bugs in adonthell and afnix?
