Debian has never had big-endian ARM as an officially supported
architecture, so to that extent there's no precedent to follow in this
area.  

The natural name for a big-endian gnueabi port would obviously be
"armeb".  That does leave big-endian OABI somewhat out in the cold but,
given that OABI has been obsolescent for the best part of a decade, this
doesn't seem totally unreasonable.  If anybody did want to use dpkg with
such a thing (and wanted to avoid colliding with armeb) then I guess
they'd have to name it "armob" or something.
