Quoting from dpkg-architecture(1)

  The  environment variables set by dpkg-architecture are passed to
  debian/rules as make variables (see make documentation). However,
  you should not rely on them, as this breaks manual invocation of the
  script. Instead, you should always initialize them using
  dpkg-architecture with the -q option.

in r677:
$ dpkg-architecture | grep _ARCH=
DEB_BUILD_ARCH=amd64
DEB_HOST_ARCH=amd64
$ debian/rules debian/fglrx-driver.install
sed -e s/_VERSION_/11-7/g -e s/_ARCH_/x86/g -e s/_XPIC_/xpic/g -e
s/_LIB_/lib/g < debian/fglrx-driver.install.in > debian/fglrx-driver.install

variable not initialized, manual invocation produces garbage

dpkg-architecture(1), again:

    TERMS
       build machine
           The machine the package is built on.
       host machine
           The machine the package is built for.
