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.

JB.
