mips/mipsel arch selection problem and armel arch support

[Aleksandr Koltsoff]

Binary package hint: apt-mirror

The script does re matching on the "supported" architectures and with some archs this causes a problem if the archs are specified in shorted-prefixed order.

This is a problem for mipsel for example, because matching against mips will also match against mipsel and it attempted first.

Same happens if adding support for the 'armel' arch and placing that after 'arm'.

Trivial patch to fix both (both occur on the same line):

Also submitted to sf.net where apt-mirror's real upstream seems to be.

Ah, forgot to mention where the armel thing comes from. Recently, maemo (the dev environment for Nokia Internet Tablets) moved their ARM toolchain to a newer EABI and that uses arch 'armel'. Mirroring the repo for the project caused me to run into the issue. While adding armel support, noticed a problem in the mispel "support" as well.

Testing can be done with:
