armel and armhf are official debian architectures. armel uses software
floating point and is pretty slow and works on armv4 and higher.
armhf uses hardware floating point and works on armv7. Raspbian is NOT
a debian architecture, but is a rebuilt version of armhf built for armv6
(which is what the RPi is, although the RPi 2 is armv7 and can run the
real debian armhf).
Since armhf requires armv7, you will sometimes run into programs that
won't run on armv6 because of unsupported instructions, although some
programs will run.
So you would need to have the package compiled for raspbian to be sure
you could run it.
