Bug#771058: python-debian: please add an implementation for Debian architecture wildcard matching

[Stuart Prescott]

Hi josch,

This looks like something quite sensible to include in python-debian. I think 
architecture information probably lives inside debian_support.py along with 
types for versions and version comparison.

Could you please put this code and a (standalone) test suite in a form that 
can be merged? 

many thanks
Stuart
