Description-en: Hardware architecture detector
This package provides the 'archdetect' tool, which displays the current
machine architecture and subarchitecture. The architecture corresponds to
that built into dpkg, and describes the CPU (and possibly kernel) types;
the subarchitecture distinguishes machines with different boot arrangements
that require special handling.
.
This package would be called 'archdetect', but a udeb of that name already
existed for use in the installer.
