Package: dpkg
Severity: important

dpkg --print-architecture currently can be used to get the name of the current
architecture, however nothing does exist for getting the current multiarch.
dpkg-architecture does exist, and gcc -print-multiarch, but nothing in dpkg
which could make sure that this is available during package installations
(without having dpkg.dev or gcc installed). Please consider adding this option,
and include it in wheezy, so that upgrades from wheezy to jessie can rely on
this.
Thanks, Matthias

Exactly. I don't really see any reason to provide such interface, if
a package needs it then there's something wrong going on.
If the package is arch:any then it should already know the mapping at
build time. If it's arch:all then (as the arch indicates) it should
either not care, or be prepared to handle any architecture, not just
one, and in such cases, like with initramfs-tools, the path can be
inferred directly from the binaries being handled.
Thus closing, but if you think you've come up with a valid reason
for such interface please reopen.
Thanks,
Guillem
