Thanks for the report.
This one has already been discussed:
http://bugs.gnu.org/13001
There are several patches maintained in various distributions
for retrieving the processor type from /proc/cpuinfo (but not
for Debian obviously), e.g.
Fedora:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/coreutils-8.2-uname-processortype.patch
Gentoo:
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo/src/patchsets/coreutils/8.21/003_all_coreutils-gentoo-uname.patch?revision=1.1
openSUSE:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/Base:System/coreutils/coreutils-sysinfo.patch?expand=1
Unfortunately we didn't come to a conclusion yet on how
to maintain this in upstream coreutils.
Have a nice day,
Berny
