When will the $arch build of $package be available?

A: The packages are only uploaded by the backporter for their own
architecture. The rest of the architectures have to go through the build
network and the logs getting signed by the buildd admins. Those are often
enough also busy with other work (or if time permits real life), which might
also add to a delay in the uploads. You can check the status on the Buildd
Information Page of the used buildd network, just enter your $package and
don’t forget to select the lenny-backports suite from the dropdown list. 

But mentioning snapshot is a good idea. I'll add it later.
