Package: ntp

Hello
i am reading unstable-changes with interest. Today i came across a
change in ntp unstable:
--- snip ---
* Running as user ntp does not work on kfreebsd because it doesn't support
capabilities. Adjust the init script to start as root.
--- snip ---
digging into the initscript i came across the fact that :
--- snip ---
HOST_OS=$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH_OS)
RUNASUSER=ntp
if test "$HOST_OS" = "kfreebsd"; then
RUNASUSER=root
fi
--- snip ---
is beeing used for that.
I think this will not work because dpkg-architecture is from the package
dpkg-dev and isn't installed everywhere.
IMHO 'dpkg --print-architecture' is a better replacement?
PS. I am using Lenny not sid.
