I'm going to try to limit the changes to i386 in testing, so if I can
force in an architecture dependant package to !i386, I will. If an
architecture indep package must go in, it will also update i386 (but not
the i386 CD images, which are already done). We will lose some
consistency, but we're already going to be 90% more consistent than the
last beta this way.

Right on all counts.


Note that sarge/main/debian-installer/binary-i386 currently has empty
Packages files. They were fine yesterday but one of the girls ate them.
I think that will be fixed tomorrow after ftpmaster finished getting
their act together.
