Agreed -- at least if arm people don't pick up the pace :-)

And armeb surely isn't bigger in number of packages. We're at less than
600 packages built/installed for unstable ATM, which is not even 10% of
all of unstable.

(you can see graphs on that on
<http://unstable.buildd.net/index-armeb.html>...)

That doesn't have to mean anything.

They're not supposed to count; however, to make sure they're not
counted, they need to be marked as such, either through
packages-arch-specific or through not-for-us.

James has access to both, though it might be that in some cases, he'll
need to know that it's appropriate.
