Yes, and that's trivial to add once dpkg recognises the architecture (remember that you have to get it added in stable, since dak uses the stable version to validate the architecture list in an upload). > I agree that the arm64 kernel will work for both. But will > dependencies work for automatically bringing that in? The only dependencies on kernel image packages are (or should be) from the corresponding metapackages. Once those are installed, upgrades should work automatically. However, d-i and vmdb will need to be changed to add the foreign architecture and install a foreign kernel metapackage.
