What about consistency with less specific PACKAGE_ARCHs which use "t" to
show if it was built with or without thumb?

Or more strange case when some DISTRO without PR service enables thumb
and package manager can in theory migrate/upgrade packages from arm926ejse feed
to arm926ejste ones even when the version is the same (doesn't work with
opkg)
