What changes are you introducing?

Debian Architecture-Variant support documentation for Katello.

Why are you introducing these changes? (Explanation, links to references, issues, etc.)

The behavior is not intuitive and requires the user to be explicitly set the variant architectures in a particular form so pulp can handle it correctly.

Anything else to add? (Considerations, potential downsides, alternative solutions you have explored, etc.)

  • This requires the a new pulp_deb version to be added to Katello so it can take a while. Will update cherry picks accordingly

style-wise LGTM.

I would appreciate additional style ACK because I wrote parts of it. Needs tech ACK because I rephrased parts of @hstct original commit.

Due to following a different strategy in pulp_deb it now behaves like expected and from my perspective doesn't need any special call out in the documentation. So the only changes are now some minor corrections.

Not sure if we should just change the name of the PR instead to make it more clear? @maximiliankolb
