Bug#383871: boinc platform override simplification

[Robert Millan]

Package: boinc
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

As you can see in changelog, upstream recently moved from $host to $target to
determine the platform it should use for core client requests.  You could take
advantage of that to simplify the i486/i686 override in debian/rules, see
attached patch.
