opkg-lede's architecture priorities as described above can be useful in certain
specific ways, through a [wrapper script that adds an `-a`/`--host-architecture`
option][opkg-wrapper] (similar to that of apt-get). First, since multiple
-`Section: dbg` feeds may be downloaded and architecture-qualifying such packages
-would be undesirable, such packages could be installed instead via `opkg -a
-amd64-linux-glibc foo-dbg`. Similarly, `Section: libdev` packages as build
-dependencies could be automatically installed for the host architecture by
-prokit supplying an appropriate `-a` option, allowing maintainers to continue
-listing unqualified package names in `Build-Depends` instead of having to add
-`-${Host-Arch}` to every `Section: libdev` package in `Build-Depends`.
