I confirm this bug as well. For a temp solution do: "sudo checkinstall
-A amd64" when building/installing the package.

I think a more serious problem occurs at line 1140 of that same file:
if ! [ "$ARCHITECTURE" ]; then
   ARCHITECTURE=`uname -m`
   echo $ARCHITECTURE | grep -e "i[3456]86" &> /dev/null
   [ $? -eq 0 ] && ARCHITECTURE=i386  # Arch will be "i386" for any of
fi 
#########################################

So why not change the architecture name to "X86_64" after all, that is
what uname -m returns. Doing this we can prevent future bugs from
occuring in other applications if they also extract the architecture
name using uname.

Packages built on AMD64 default to wrong architecture type.
