[maemo-community] Everybody please fix bug in your scratchbox installation!

[From: Marcin Mielniczuk]

I'm using scratchbox on Linux, and have thumb too. So it's a bug not only
in the virtual image. Or maybe it's "thumb-1".
But autobuilder is using scratchbox too, doesn't it? Are there problems
with some autobuilder built packages?

> 1. Login to scratchbox: run /scratchbox/login
> 2. Edit file /targets/FREMANTLE_ARMEL.environment
> 3. Remove "thumb" from that file
> 4. Save file and *logout* from scratchbox

> Note that scratchbox is loading DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS variable at
