14. By Loïc Minier on 2008-06-24

* Fix dpatch 01-no-64bit-guest to change upstream's uname -m into
  dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_CPU instead of dpkg --print-architecture;
  fixes build on lpia.
* Build virtualbox-ose, virtualbox-ose-dbg, and virtualbox-ose-guest-utils
  for lpia.
* Set VBOX_WITH_X11_ADDITIONS in rules when the DEB_HOST_ARCH is i386 or
  lpia instead of using dpkg --print-architecture.
* Use the -s flag to dh_ commands instead of 3 debhelper calls and a shell
  test; as a bonus, this provides additional detached symbols in -dbg.
* Install files into virtualbox-ose-guest-utils unconditionally and ignore
  errors -- even if these exist, the package is disabled on amd64.
* Cleanup upstreamversion computation and compute it only once.
* Change Vcs-Svn and Vcs-Browser to XS-Original-Vcs-*.

  - debian/control:
    - DebianMaintainerField

    install. Use "uname -r" in the virtualbox wrapper script for this.
