Can you figure out what changes would be required in the package so that the Arch:all package becomes really Arch:alpha? I would start by modifying debian/control to read like this: Package: aboot-base Architecture: alpha then debian/rules may need some adjustment, but I can't test that. I think that would be the orthodox thing to do for a package which is really alpha-specific. The Arch:all thing I admit that it's a clever trick, but it is against the release goal (or current setup, depending on how you look at it) that every Arch:all package must be buildable in the Arch:all autobuilder (which runs amd64). Thanks.
