Hi,

following the advice on
https://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html
under “Simple patching and building” I used debian/bin/test-patches to
apply some patches I need to test. Unfortunately, this produces only the
arch dependent file:
../linux-headers-4.12.0-trunk-amd64_4.12.2-1~exp1a~test_amd64.deb
../linux-image-4.12.0-trunk-amd64_4.12.2-1~exp1a~test_amd64.deb
../linux-image-4.12.0-trunk-amd64-dbg_4.12.2-1~exp1a~test_amd64.deb
and linux-headers-4.12.0-trunk-amd64 depends on
linux-headers-4.12.0-trunk-common (= 4.12.2-1~exp1a~test)
which does not exist. Since the package version was adjusted, I cannot
just use the version of the archive.

I believe debian/bin/test-patches should also build the arch independent
packages, to produce an actually installable set of .debs.

Thanks,
Joachim
