Just to clarify what happened here, the new options parsing that was
implemented caused the (granted, incorrect) command "dpkg-architecture
-a -t -qDEB_HOST_ARCH" to fail with the error

  dpkg-architecture: error: unknown Debian architecture -t, you must
  specify GNU system type, too

whereas before (for at least the past 8 years) it would report the
architecture.  Note, there should probably be a period at the end of the
message.
