scripts/package/builddeb script was setting the host machine $arch in the KERNEL/debian/control prior to an invocation of dpkg-gencontrol. The existing method is appropriate for i386/x86_64 but fails when cross-compiling for non-intel. The patch modifies the script to guarantee the correct $arch for the target is written to the control file. This patch has been tested building x86_64 on an i386 machine and also when cross-compiling for ARM on an i386 machine. The issue first arose in the 2.6.38 release.
