yes.

why would it not?
since armv7 is backward compatible with armv6, deken will offer to 
install either of the two architectures if it believes that it is 
running on armv7.
(and it will only offer armv6 if it believes that it is running on armv6)

alternatively: find some simple enough code to do runtime detection of 
the actual arm CPU.
