You're absolutely right -- I've corrected this in my sources.

But what should I use as architecture field? I've tried "i386 source"
and the like, but dchanges starts complaining (I'm using the wrong
file-name) so I abandoned that.
Apparently, If I have an architecture i386, dchanges wants a .deb file
with i386 in it -- but what if I have an architecture of "i386 spark alfa"
does it then have to be "gsfonts-3.53-2i386_spark_alfa_whatever.deb"?

Got you: gsfonts-3.53 is the same package as gsfonts-2.62, only
a few versions later. So, dpkg will automatically remove everything from
gsfonts-2.62 when upgreading to gsfonts-3.53

It's really got advantages, this same-package bussines...
