Yup, this is incorrect. This is the same as `uname -m` and so returns the
kernel architecture.
If you want to do this purely at the upstream side without checking
DEB_HOST_ARCH, AFAIK there is no 100% reliable way to do this.
Please read
https://docs.python.org/3/library/platform.html#platform.architecture for
further ideas and caveats.
