Ben considers only the latest version of arch:all packages, whereas dak
waits for the source package to be built on $arch before making the new
versions of its arch:all packages available on $arch.

For example, in the case of -openal, libopenal1 (1:1.13-6) is indeed not
installable on armel (from Ben's point of view): it depends on
libopenal-data (1:1.13-6), which is arch:all and non-existent since only
version 1:1.14-1 is considered.

I'm not sure exactly what the desired behaviour is in this case...
