[Bug 1096990] Re: Backport x32 support to stable releases for infratructure/buildd use

[Adam Conrad]

** Description changed:

- See bug #1096986 for reference, but for x32, we also need a backport of
- the abitable feature in dpkg-architecture to support x32 on precise.
- This is already included in quantal and beyond, and if needed in lucid,
- will be done in lucid-cat, rather than in the archive.
+ [Impact]
+ This allows various bits of archive and package building infrastructure on precise to recognise x32 as a valid arch, needed for Soyuz, but also some third-party archive infrastructure setups.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ Test that "dpkg-architecture -ax32" outputs the same on precise-proposed as it does on raring.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Minimal regression potential.  Should double-check that "dpkg-architecture -ax32" and "dpkg-architecture -aamd64" output as desired, with 32/64 bits as appropriate.
+ 
+ [Original Report]
