dpkg features helpful for ARM use cases
Discuss and prioritize dpkg work related to ARM target use cases:
* files sections, e.g. man pages etc. to allow saving space on root fses by choosing to install only some sections
* Cpu/Endianess/
* new architectures: ARM EABI with hard-float, "generic" to try out new ports
* multiarch, multiarch-cross
* license tracking in packages
* origin tracking (currently only in APT)
