Chromebooks use arm64 so there is some demand to provide packages for this architecture.

Closes #1973.

Is this ready for review or does it need more work based on discussion in the linked issue?

More work is needed, changing back to draft

Chromebooks use arm64 so there is some demand to provide packages for this
architecture.

Had to set CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_ARCHITECTURE explicitly to generate a package
with the right architecture.

Closes longturn#1973.
The system triplet uses aarch64, but Debian calls it arm64, so we need to map
between the two.

See longturn#1973

I think this is now working -- it's useless for ChromeOS due to #2137, but could be useful e.g. on a Raspberry Pi

What happens if you drop to Ubuntu 20.04?

We no longer support it because of the very old Qt version there

@jwrober do we merge this or do you want to wait for #2137?

Since this patch doesn't really do what is intended I am not sure it should be merged. I like the idea of the OBS "resurrection" instead. The number of packages is getting harder to maintain.

To be superseded by OBS-based packages, see #2137.
