Bug Description

Noticed this here:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/119018436/libreoffice_1%3A3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu2_1%3A3.6.2~rc2-0ubuntu3.diff.gz

I believe this should be DEB_BUILD_ARCH.

Quoting from the dpkg-archetecture man page

       DEB_BUILD_ARCH
           The Debian architecture of the build machine.

       DEB_HOST_ARCH
           The Debian architecture of the host machine.

While this won't affect our archive builds, it does affect cross builds.

Sorry for commenting on the old bug, but the same manpage says:

TERMS
       build machine = The machine the package is built on.

       host machine = The machine the package is built for.

I think using DEB_HOST_* is correct here.
