Thanks for the patch. I'd like to give it some testing though as I fear it 
may break one other use case that currently somehow does work correctly.

If I cross-compile for arm with EABI set in the config, the script 
currently correctly generates an armel package (probably through 
dpkg-cross).

Possibly your change would override that and change it to arm. I don't know 
for sure it will go wrong, but it does need testing. I'll let you know.

Cheers,
