* Architecture Support:
- Added ppc64. Closes: #263743.
- Split archtable into cputable and ostable, archtable is retained
for compatibility with other packages that might use it only.
- dpkg-architecture no longer canonises -t argument. Closes: #173205.
- dpkg-architecture output includes new DEB_*_ARCH_OS and
DEB_*_ARCH_CPU variables that contain the Debian system and CPU
names respectively.
- dpkg-architecture outputs (mostly) correct GNU system names now,
in particular this means that it will output "linux-gnu" instead
of "linux". You should use the new _ARCH_OS variables instead.
* Documentation:
- Add examples to dpkg-divert(8). Closes: #291816.
- Correct typo in dpkg-architecture(1). Closes: #299090.
