Subject: [PATCH] 3 small patches for the 6.3 build scripts

1. Fix a spell typo in mkdebian script.

Fixes: spelling error in scripts/package/mkdebian

2. Fix an invalid user-mode subarch architecture name.
The x86 32-bit architecture name should be i386, not x86.
The SUBARCH tag is used in UM arch check in scripts/tags.sh.

Fixes: incorrect user mode subarch tag in scripts/subarch.include

3.In 6.3 the mkdebian script started to wipe the debian directory.
On my build system I have been installing a "real" changelog file with
build history
into the unpacked/patched kernel tree before calling "make bindeb-pkg".
It seems that a workaround could be to copy the real changelog into
another directory,
e.g. patches/, and then if the patches/changelog file exists, move it to
the debian/
directory and skip creation of a stock changelog file.

Fixes: in Debian packaging use a real changelog file if provided
