Bug#421566: vdrift: wrong architecture limitations in debian/control (alpha)

[Steve Langasek]

Package: vdrift
Version: 0.0.2006.10.06-1
Severity: serious
Justification: release policy, "Packages must be supported on as many architectures as is reasonably possible"

Hi Gonéri,

The vdrift package is marked as only being buildable on amd64, i386, ia64,
and powerpc.  This is wrong; the code builds fine on alpha, arm, and mipsel,
and is only prevented from being uploaded by this architecture list.

I see in the bug log of 400596 that a member of the security team has
offered the opinion that vdrift should not be built on arm because there's
no need for a "3d-intense game" on an embedded arch, but this reasoning does
not apply to alpha and mipsel which are not embedded architectures and may
very well have suitable 3d-accelerated hardware.

Please reenable the build on alpha and mipsel.  The attached patch should
suffice.

Cheers,
