Ah, well spotted, but still there's some significant difference:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ftp/dists$ zcat
testing{,-proposed-updates}/main/binary-alpha/Packages.gz | grep-dctrl -s
Package -F Architecture -v all | wc -l
7105
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ftp/dists$ zcat
testing{,-proposed-updates}/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz | grep-dctrl -s
Package -F Architecture -v all | wc -l
7628
A lot of that is due to the gazillion kernel flavors and their modules,
some compilers, some sensors and sensor-related stuff, a few acpi
packages, old libc5 stuff, and the good old "uh?" stuff (firebird for
example).
