Package: kqemu-source
Version: 1.3.0~pre9-12
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
When running the following:
$ m-a -t build kqemu

BUILD FAILED!
If I don't use m-a and run the following:
$ cd /usr/src/modules/kqemu/
$ debian/rules build
$ debian/rules binary-modules
<The same error as before>
However, if I run the following:
$ cd /usr/src/modules/kqemu/
$ debian/rules build
$ debian/rules ARCH=x86_64 binary-modules

So, I reckon debian/rules isn't setting ARCH properly. This very humble patch
for debian/rules fixes this, but someone should probably make sure it does it
in a Debian-approved way, rather than my hackish way:

The build log from m-a and patch are also attached.
