Package: dpkg
Version: 1.20.11
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

ARCv2 support was added a while back in dpkg (see [1], [2])
and was included in dpkg starting from 1.21.0.

The problem is even uploads of other packages in "unstable"
fail to build if they expect the build system system to know about ARC.

Apparently newly uploaded packages are being built in a "stable"
environment, and so we need dpkg of that "stable" system to be
aware of ARC as well.

In particular this is relevant to Binutils, GCC etc.

Thus I'm asking to back-port [2] to 1.20.x branch and add it to the
"stable" upload of dpkg sometime soon. That will really unblock
normal package building and uploading for ARC as well.

Note also, as per Aurelien, ARC was added to debian-ports so
we're pretty much all set for normal package building on ARC,
for ARC and upload built packages in the repo.
