No, and won't be for some time. Their current policy is to require that a fully functional system is available first. In the unlikely situation that the GNU triplet had to be changed out of a requirement from upstream, I think this shouldn't affect the dpkg triplet, so it would be safe to start using it, even if this means GNU triplet and dpkg triplet will end up being different. After all, this happened for "x86_64" vs "amd64" too. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
