    I don't much like this solution.  It will cause mirror to also
duplicate the files from binary-all that are symlinked to binary-i386.
That's a LOT of space.  Personally, being as close to release as we are,
and noting how little space is actually going to be taken by moving the
files over, I'd be a lot happier if Guy went ahead and converted all of
the symlinks already so those of us planning on testing a CD-burn can do
so.  Still, this topic has apparantly been beaten to death, so I guess
I'll just tolerate whatever happens.  It's not like Guy doesn't have
enough to do ;)
