Architecture dependency kicks in at some few places during the
installation process, and in general it's currently set up exclusively
for amd64 and i386.

I would grep for 'i386' to find the places where distinctions are
made, and the add 'aarch64' or 'arm64' to it.

(use "dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH" to determine which actual
label to use).
