Bug#516625: #516625 - pbuilder: pdebuild signs wrong .changes when building with --arch=i386 on amd64

[Julien Valroff]

Hi,

Isn't that bug a duplicate of
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=349394
?

I have the same problem as I use pbuilder and cowbuilder a lot to build
i386 packages on my amd64 host.

I personally use the following code in pbuilderrc to be sure I get the correct base path:
[ -z ${ARCH} ] && ARCH="amd64"
[ -z ${DIST} ] && DIST="sid"

PDEBUILD_PBUILDER="cowbuilder --build --basepath /var/cache/pbuilder/base-${DIST}_${ARCH}.cow"
PKGNAME_LOGFILE_EXTENTION="_${ARCH}_${DIST}.build"

and then specify ARCH and DIST if necessary when invoking pdebuild or
svn-buildpackage. 

There is already a PKGNAME_LOGFILE_EXTENTION configuration variable,
maybe something similar could be done for .changes file?

Cheers,
Julien
