...but, as far as I know, the debian/attic/ directory has obsolete
stuff that's not used. I should actually drop that directory unless
someone knows about the rationale for its existence.

Still, console-data's config script *has* the call the "dpkg
--print-installation-architecture" but the culprit here is
dh-consoledata (from the console-common source package and used to
build console-data).

The call to "dpkg --print-installation-architecture" is still in
console-common (in
/usr/share/debhelper/dh-consoledata/common.pl). Therefore
dh-consoledata inserts it in the generated .config file for
console-data.

So, what should be done:

1) change console-common's common.pl file and rebuild console-common
2) drop debian/attic in console-data to avoid later confusion
3) rebuilt console-data with the new console-common
