Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.4.0.27

Hello,

dpkg-genchanges fails when there is a "-" in the architecture field. the
follwoing fixes this:

Line 103-105:
====================================================================
while(<FL>) {
    if (m/^(([-+.0-9a-z]+)_([^_]+)_([-\w]+)\.deb) (\S+) (\S+)$/) {
                                    ***** (was: \w)
        defined($p2f{"$2 $4"}) &&
====================================================================

This is important because we have now the architecture "hurd-i386".
