os.arch on Linux

[René J.V. Bertin]

Since trac is still down:

MacPorts can generate .deb packages, a feature I just tried on Linux. Turns out it set the architecture to i386, which AFAIK is not appropriate for a 64 bit platform like mine.

So fwiw, attached is a patch that appears to address that issue; it prevents os.arch from being set to i386 instead of x86_64. I'm not sure why that logic is in place in the 1st place: a remnant from the days there were only 32bit MacIntels?
