Hi! As I asked before I think it's time to drop the binary link. If nobody objects within the next 24 hours I will file a bugreport against ftp.debian.org asking Guy to remove that link.

I touch type, but I would still rather type a That's exactly why I want to have it removed. I accidently tried to install a i386 package on the debian m68k machine, bad idea... Please notice that we do not only have a single architecture distribution. Instead many users and developers do have different architectures. Btw. I have three different architectures running Debian on. To be honest, if I would only have a sparc, powerpc, alpha or m68k machine, I would feel offended by this link.
