A ppc64el or riscv64 management node installs the amd64 Genesis. xCAT and
xCATsn declare Architecture: amd64 ppc64el riscv64 and one unrestricted
Depends: xcat-genesis-scripts-amd64, so every architecture gets it. That
package is Architecture: all, so apt reports no error. It lays down
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/genesis/x86_64 and pulls the 128 MB
xcat-genesis-base-amd64, and the node receives no Genesis for its own
architecture. xcat-genesis-scripts-ppc64, the package that would carry it, is
uninstallable: it depends on xcat-genesis-base-ppc64, and builddeb-genesis-base
names the ppc64el base deb xcat-genesis-base-ppc64el.
xCAT/debian/control and xCATsn/debian/control now restrict the dependency by
architecture, the way xCAT.spec does with
%{?genesistarch:Requires: xCAT-genesis-scripts-%{genesistarch}}. amd64 gets
xcat-genesis-scripts-amd64, ppc64el gets xcat-genesis-scripts-ppc64el, and
riscv64 gets neither, because its Genesis is the OpenEmbedded image.
xCAT-genesis-scripts/debian/control-ppc64el builds xcat-genesis-scripts-ppc64el
and depends on xcat-genesis-base-ppc64el. It conflicts with and replaces the
old name, which shares the same files.
debian_control_arch_coverage.t asserts the genesis scripts an architecture
receives are that architecture's own, and that control-<arch> builds
xcat-genesis-scripts-<arch> against xcat-genesis-base-<arch>. Eight of its
assertions fail without this change.

apt on a riscv64 Ubuntu management node cannot find xCAT at all:
E: Unable to locate package xcat
xCAT/debian/control and xCATsn/debian/control list "Architecture: amd64 ppc64el",
so the build produces no riscv64 deb and the published apt repository serves only
those two architectures. Everything else riscv64 needs is already in the tree --
the rocky10/rhels10 riscv64 install templates, the grub2 boot policy, mknb, the
OpenEmbedded Genesis machine -- and the xcat-dep riscv64 repository is built,
signed and complete; only the core packages are missing.
Add riscv64 to both lists.
xCAT-test/unit/debian_control_arch_coverage.t covers this: it fails on both files
without the change.

(cherry picked from commit 13492f55c32b34597b24934079d35789b4cc57c0)
Promote bind9 from Recommends to Depends on the xcat and xcatsn metapackages. bind9 is
required by makedns, so it must be a hard dependency regardless of the system's APT
recommendation policy -- xCAT manages the cluster DNS through makedns/named, which
makes a DNS server as essential to a management or a service node as the DHCP backend
already declared beside it ("isc-dhcp-server | kea"). As a Recommends it was installed
only while that policy asked for it: an Ubuntu 26.04 management node came up with no
/usr/sbin/named and makedns failing with "failed to start named".
Strip only a trailing third component when deriving the debootstrap suite in the
Ubuntu netboot genimage. The previous s/\.\d+$// also removed the minor from a
two-part osvers, so an initial release with no point-release ISO -- ubuntu26.04, but
equally an initial-release 18.04/20.04/22.04 -- reached debootstrap as a bare major.

xcat and xcatsn declared a hard dependency on xcat-genesis-scripts-ppc64. In
an amd64-only build that package is never produced, so apt could not satisfy
the dependency and refused to install xcat. Depend only on the amd64
genesis-scripts package.
