well, we're using a rather old version of dpkg...

I've got updated dpkg and apt packages in my experimental that appear to
do better on intel:

---(snip!)---
$ dpkg-architecture
DEB_BUILD_ARCH=darwin-i386
DEB_BUILD_ARCH_OS=darwin
DEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU=i386
DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=i486
DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM=darwin
DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=i486-darwin
DEB_HOST_ARCH=darwin-i386
DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS=darwin
DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU=i386
DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=i486
DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=darwin
DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=i486-darwin
---(snip!)---

Not sure why they want to make it "i486" for the GNU stuff, but hey, it
works, at least.  :)

I'd appreciate some testers, it would be nice to have a modern dpkg and
apt in Fink again.
