Note that we don't intend to include arm in lenny+1 and would like to
have a clear commitment from the arm/armel pointers to switch to only
armel (no arm anymore) after lenny.
IRC discussion with tbm showed that lenny should include both arm and
armel to give people a chance to switch from a supported arm to a
supported armel as people are still installing arm atm thinking that
arm will be supported on lenny...
