Dh_Lib::buildarch() function calls error($!) if dpkg-architecture is
not found (or there's some other problem with it), but $! is empty,
resulting in a silent and misleading exit in dh_* helper apps.
Current behavior:
$ perl ./dh_link etc/foo debian/debhelper/usr/lib/bar
dh_link:
$ echo $?
1
Suggested behavior:
$ perl ./dh_link etc/foo debian/debhelper/usr/lib/bar
dh_link: problem executing dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH
$ echo $?
1
There's a number of simple ways to increase verbosity here, here's
