Subject: [PATCH 3.4 05/13] deb-pkg: Fix cross-building linux-headers package

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk>

commit f8ce239dfc7ba9add41d9ecdc5e7810738f839fa upstream.

builddeb generates a control file that says the linux-headers package
can only be built for the build system primary architecture.  This
breaks cross-building configurations.  We should use $debarch for this
instead.

Since $debarch is not yet set when generating the control file, set
Architecture: any and use control file variables to fill in the
description.

Fixes: cd8d60a20a45 ('kbuild: create linux-headers package in deb-pkg')
