    deb-pkg: Add support for powerpc little endian

    The Debian powerpc little endian architecture is called ppc64el. T
    is the default architecture used by Ubuntu for powerpc.

    The below checks the kernel config to see if we are compiling littl
    endian and sets the Debian arch appropriately.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-utopic' to 'verification-done-utopic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
