I'm ok with using a Perl interpreter to determine from Packages-arch-specific
(which is small compared to a Packages file) if an architecture is in a
wildcarded list.  However in the critical path it feels wrong.  Did you
already measure the impact of your patch?  Just take one Packages file from
unstable and a Sources file and run quinn-diff with and without your patch.
