[PATCH] kbuild, deb-pkg: fix Architecture field when cross compiling

[Asbjoern Sloth Toennesen]

Attempt to guess the correct value of the Architecture control
field, based on the ARCH environment variable. Fallback to letting
deb-gencontrol use the host platform's architecture.

With this patch the following make command:

	make ARCH=i386 deb-pkg

will output an i386 Debian package instead of an amd64 one,
when run on amd64 machine.
