[Pkg-lirc-maint] Bug#371050: does not build on sarge (since fix for #318268)

[Alexander Zangerl]

Package: lirc-modules-source
Version: 0.7.1pre2-2
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

the modules package doesn't build as "build architecture i386 not in list"
or somesuch: sarge's old dpkg 1.10 does not have DEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU in
dpkg-architecture. 
the fix for #318268 has introduced this dependency on new dpkg.

i can see two ways to clean this up: 
a) specifying a build-depends dpkg >=1.13 
in the control.in, or 
b) making the rules fragment that determines the architecture a bit 
more robust: try the new setup first, no result? then
fall back. still no result -> error out.

as build-depends are not yet (TTBOMK) handled by make-kpkg, 
a) is not a full fix as it'll still fail to compile - but at least there might 
be a chance that the user looks at the control file and figures out the
problem.
