Package: reportbug
Version: 6.3.1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

now that we have a multiarch-enabled dpkg in experimental, it would be
nice for reportbug to report foreign architectures (if any), along with
the usual line:
| Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)

Let me quote the warning/advice from #658794:
,--
| I'd suggest using “dpkg --assert-multi-arch” to check whether dpkg has
| multiarch support, and using “dpkg --print-foreign-architectures” to
| get the extra architectures to fetch files for.
| 
| As noted in the changelog[1], “command line interfaces *will* change”,
| so you may want to stage any changes in experimental for now.
|

Thanks for considering.

Mraw,
KiBi.
