Ok, thats right.
But from my point of view there exist at least three ways to implement
it:
1.) each architecture gets its own pages. That will be a lot
of files and I read from the statements on website/todo that
this is not the preferred way. Only small changes in code
needed though.
2.) all architectures are merged in one page per package per
distrib. That would not change the number of pages (only some
non-i386 packages would be added.) but like also stated
on the todo site, it will be tricky to find a correct and
viewable layout. The code would not be the problem and can
be embedded in the existing one.
3.) make 1.) but create the pages dynamically. This will
require nearly a complete rewrite, but would be the
cleanest way, I think.
