hmm the conclusion was to prepend a KBUILD_ prefix for a kbuild variable?
Any reason why that was overlooked?

I checked man devscripts and saw yet no definition of DEBARCH, but in order
not to have any potential conflicts and to keep namespase sane I think
it is very much preferred to use KBUILD_DEBARCH.

thanks
