For your information (and sorry I forgot to mention earlier), lessdisks has worked around this, so currently do not rely on type-handling anymore. If what you "fixed" is actually bringing back the virtual arch-boolean packages then we might consider switching back, though, as lessdisks is a purely scriptiong package so it feels somewhat stupid being forced to make it arch: any. On the other hand, I've been on my way filing a wishlist bugreport on somehow avoiding the dependency on developer tools for type-handling: When used to fulfill binary dependencies those dependencies bloats the installation. But, in short: lessdisks should no longer be of (major) concern with regards to this bugreport.
