My script looks at the Packages.arch file to get the proper version.
You just take something like:
Filename: dists/woody/main/binary-i386/admin/acct_6.3.5-21.deb
                                                  ^^^^^^^^^

Currently, if the package is not available for the architecture you
want, nothing is found in the packages file and 'sorry...' displayed.
What the script should do is to look if the package is available
BEFORE providing the choice of architectures.  At the moment, the
pages list offers all architectures for the download -- it should
only list those for which the package is really available.
