That didn't seem to work I also tried editing in the top of the
meta/classes/package_deb.bbclass setting
  DPKG_ARCH = "armel"
But that did not work either.

When I change:

@@ -249,6 +249,7 @@ python do_package_deb () {
         localdata.setVar('OVERRIDES', pkg)

         bb.data.update_data(localdata)
+        localdata.setVar('DPKG_ARCH', 'armel')
         basedir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(root))

         pkgoutdir = os.path.join(outdir, localdata.getVar('PACKAGE_ARCH',
True))

the packages are created properly.
