Adding arm64 to the Architecture list in debian/control is all that is needed for it to build successfully. That said, xenial's version was too old to support filtering kdump- enabled xenial kernels (>= 4.10.0). So, this doesn't actually produce a *useful* makedumpfile, but does allow kdump-tools to be installed, which unblocks collection of (unfiltered) crash dump files. [Test Case] On an arm64 system: sudo apt install kdump-tools [Regression Risk] The only change here is to make a binary package available on arm64 that previously was not - regression risk to existing architectures should therefore be negligible. Note: Enabling a binary package for an architecture where it's known not to be useful - at last on it's own - is obviously non-ideal. I considered other options, but they all seem to add unnecessary regression risk: - Demoting the "Depends:" to a "Recommends:". I actually think we should do this going forward (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=865701), but this would be a change in behavior to people who may install kdump-tools w/ Recommends-disabled and expect to stil get makedumpfile. - Demoting only on arm64: This isn't possible unless we switch kdump- tools from Binary: any to Binary: all. I also think there are good reasons to do that in future releases (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=863858), but it seems overkill for just enabling arm64.
