Well, the real question is: Will dinstall complain?
Probably not (that's why I asked this). But then, we might better fix
dinstall, if we can, before people complain about dselect *not*
automatically retrieving and upgrading "fixed" packages having the same
version number as the buggy one.
BTW: People who compile packages for different architectures do a
great job by compiling a lot of them in a single run.
Would be great to have also a team of "i386 porters". I say this because
very often the only change required to fix a bug is a simple recompile
(perhaps just adding a few lines in the changelog).
