Setting architecture of only DEB files (arm vs armel)

Setting architecture of only DEB files (arm vs armel)

I am compiling a distro for my hardware using DEBs for my package
management. In meta/classes/package_deb.bbclass I need DPKG_ARCH = "armel"
instead of TARGET_ARCH (which is "arm"). When I run dpkg on my device armel
is the architecture, not arm, but yocto wants my TARGET_ARCH to be set to
"arm". Is there a non hackish way to do this from my BSP layer or config
file?

The dpkg error I get is:
  package architecture (arm) does not match system (armel)

set DPKG_ARCH = "armel" in your local.conf

That didn't seem to work I also tried editing in the top of the
meta/classes/package_deb.bbclass setting
  DPKG_ARCH = "armel"
But that did not work either.

When I change:

@@ -249,6 +249,7 @@ python do_package_deb () {
         localdata.setVar('OVERRIDES', pkg)

         bb.data.update_data(localdata)
+        localdata.setVar('DPKG_ARCH', 'armel')
         basedir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(root))

         pkgoutdir = os.path.join(outdir, localdata.getVar('PACKAGE_ARCH',
True))

the packages are created properly.
