        revno: 1327.24.436
        committer: Julian Andres Klode <jak at debian.org>
        branch nick: debian-experimental-ma
        timestamp: Sat 2010-06-26 23:01:49 +0200
        message:
          apt-pkg/deb/deblistparser.cc: Fix bug in architecture wildcard support.

          Previously, linux-any was always matched, because the code simply
          appended linux- to the APT::Architecture value. Now, it does this
          only if the APT::Architecture value does not contain "-".

Michael, does this seem reasonable?  Do you think we might be able to
backport this to lucid-proposed?
