facter packages depend on dmidecode but it is unavailable on arm architecture

facter debian packages from http://apt.puppetlabs.com/ cannot be installed on ARM architecture due to dependency on the dmidecode package.

The dmidecode debian package is not available on the ARM architecture. In fact it is stated in the dmidecode home page that dmidecode is only available on i386, x86-64 and ia64 architectures.

dmidecode dependency has been introduced with facter 1.6.4.

Package: facter

Version: 1.6.4-1puppetlabs1

Architecture: all

Maintainer: Puppet Labs <info@puppetlabs.com>

Installed-Size: 416

Depends: ruby1.8, libopenssl-ruby1.8, dmidecode

Section: ruby

facter packages from Debian repositories solve this by moving this to a Recommends dependency:

Package: facter

Version: 1.6.10-1

Installed-Size: 214

Maintainer: Puppet Package Maintainers <pkg-puppet-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>

Architecture: all

Depends: ruby | ruby-interpreter, ruby-json, net-tools, bind9-host | host

Recommends: pciutils, dmidecode

By the way, why is there no facter 1.7.x on ARM architecture?
