Huh, good finding. IIRC initially there was issue with RPi and qemuarm. 
Both of these boards have the same ${DISTRO_ARCH}.

1. Initially Isar supported only one Debian distribution, so to 
distinguish stamps between machines, the ${MACHINE} suffix was used.

2. Then another distribution was added, but there was no split in 
${TMPDIR} like you see now, ${WORKDIRS} were split by distro or arch 
name only, so RPi and qemuarm had shared working directory.

3. Some tasks were shared for example do_unpack for qemuarm and rpi, but 
some tasks like do_build and do_deploy should run per-machine.

4. Some stamps were fixed after splitting of ${TMPDIR}, seems this one 
was missed.

For now I guess this makes no sense, we have complete split of 
workspaces in ${TMPDIR}. So "${DISTRO}-${DISTRO_ARCH}" could be used.


But your question pointed me to another topic:

1. We have two armhf boards, let's say Rpi1 and RPi2.

2. I want two Jessie images for this boards.

3. How we should process them in Isar? With current layout the only one 
configuration will be compiled. How kernel packages should be distinguished?
