Hi, Yes, the kernel package rules file does use the dpkg architecture command, which is used to generate the file/distribution name (we have valid architectures listed as i386, m68k, sparc? and alpha, I think, but we do not have 486/586/pentium/686/ppro, (look at stable/unstable binary-XXX directories on any Debian archive).
I do not think this is a problem, since the configuration of the kernel is left upto the user, (ie make menuconfig), and they may specify whatever processor type the want; the kernel produced depends on that, not on the value that debian/rules has determined. manoj -- A morsel of genuine history is a thing so rare as to be always valuable.
