Interesting theory...

Funny that the count difference is so large... let me double check:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:dists$ zcat
testing{,-proposed-updates}/{main,contrib,non-free}/binary-alpha/Packages.gz |
grep-dctrl -s Package -F Architecture -v all | wc -l
7283
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:dists$ zcat
testing{,-proposed-updates}/{main,contrib,non-free}/binary-i386/Packages.gz |
grep-dctrl -s Package -F Architecture -v all | wc -l
7889
Yup.
