Err, containing the content of the unreleased distribution?

So that arch-specific packages are available, as well as patched
packages uploaded there (yes, I know, patches should be uploaded to
sid, but there's the maintainer latency there which hinders port
progression when not using unreleased as a staging area to be able to
move forward without having to wait).
