I understand. But surely we can choose a different name (uarmel?) and after we've agreed with the arch naming scheme, this can be implemented properly.

The proper fix (if desired) is to create a name for this supposed
uclibc based architecture. Then those warnings go away by themselves.

Agreed. The patch was only intended as a temporary solution. I'd rather see a working package with somewhat conflicting architecture, than no package at all and an error message when trying to build the package.

I'm tempted to close this bug report unless there's someone starting a
real Debian arm eabi uclibc port.

Sure.

However, the core problem is not entirely armel related. When we want to use something else than glibc (uClibc, Newlib, dietlibc, Klibc, ...) in any architecture, we want (generally) those packages to be of different arch than the ones built against "vanilla" glibc.

Therefore, it would be reasonable that a uniform naming scheme would exist in the architecture names.

When we have an idea what that scheme could be, we can reimplement the patch properly.
