I am not Guillem :) but I think the ideal thing would be a way for the
user to (perhaps explicitly) update the status db by inserting an
architecture.  Available seems less of a problem given the workaround
"dpkg --clear-avail"; in an ideal world "apt-get update" and "dselect
update" would be taught[1] to remove stale entries, though.

Especially for the sake of cross-upgrade support, the architecture
field seems kind of important.
