What do you think about taking this further and supporting expressions like 
cpuattr:value (or cpuattr-value, or cpuattr=value, or whatever other syntax) 
in the architecture wildcards (Dpkg::Arch::debarch_is()). In this particular 
case:

* endian:little and endian:big
* bits:32 and bits:64

As a result, arch symbol tag, [] expressions and Architecture fields in 
debian/control etc. would gain support for this automatically. In my opinion, 
this would be more flexible in the long term.
