Bug Description

running archdetect on a pandaboard returns armel/unknown in natty.
this happens because the hardware identifying string in /proc/cpuinfo of the 2.6.38 kernel changed for OMAP4, it currently reads:
Hardware : OMAP4 Panda board
while libdebian-installed matches on
OMAP4430 Panda Board
....
