Can someone please explain to me why patches for different
architectures are ever necessary? I don't think you (Ian Jackson) are
in favor of them - who is?

Is this such a big issue? With your overseas FTP problems you can judge
that, but I'd feel more confident if the maintainer uploaded the entire
package as one piece.

Other than that, I have no problem with your proposal.
