yeah, Debian names are all wrong , so I'd suggest do the opposite ,
Debian (and Ubuntu) change "all" to "noarch" , "amd64" to "x86_64" and
"linux" to "kernel" . 
BTW: Debian also should change the apache package name to httpd, Apache
is an organization not a web server, the web server of Apache is the
httpd.
