Sounds good!

Is the arch in binary-arch a fix string or a stub for
the various arches? How does binary-all fit in here, or is it dropped?
And, ultimatively, how can I include binary-i386 packages in my
binary-hurd-i386 Packages file?

(although I would like to have all the information in the package
itself, having overrides in a global distribution script is good
enough for now),

Thanks,
Marcus
