Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.15.2 Severity: wishlist Hi,
It may be necessary for one reason or another to determine in debian/rules whether an architecture is 64bit or not. There isn't really a good way to do that today, and dpkg-architecture seems like the natural place to add this. So, I think a new variable like DEB_ARCH_64BIT would be a nice and handy thing to have.
