Bug Description

The packet linux-headers-armhf is missing. This would be needed, if a scripts (or ansible) calls something like `apt-get install linux-headers-$(dpkg --print-architecture)`, which seems to happen quite often.

I have seen many blog and forum post telling the correct name of the packet, however, there is no use for that when the architecture is determined by the above method.

I propose adding `linux-headers-armhf` as a virtual packet pointing to `linux-headers`.

(Working around this issue in ansible is also not really possible as the system is identified as Debian.)

Thank you.

I am not sure if we are reporting the same thing here but the fact that "dpkg --print-architecture" is seems to be outputting the wrong results

It is causing docker to install the wrong version and then you starte getting errors when pulling images down

I kept getting this error: "no matching manifest for linux/arm/v8 in the manifest list entries"
