You would want source releases as well of course; something for (i386
source) would be of interest to all the other architectures so they could
compile it. The only things that are not of interest to everyone are those
that are binaries only for some platform, and they are currently not a large
proportion of the list.

Is it more or less wasteful than sending source packages to all the lists?
