No.  I'm talking about such cases:

xcin        stable    2.3.04-1                     arm
xcin        stable    2.5.1.3-1                    powerpc
xcin        stable    2.5.1.99.pre6.1-1            alpha
xcin        stable    2.5.2-1                      i386, m68k, sparc
xcin        testing   2.5.2.99.pre2+cvs20020101-2  alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
xcin        unstable  2.5.2.99.pre2+cvs20020101-2  alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
xcin        updates   2.5.2-1                      alpha, powerpc

See how the stable version is in sync through all stable architectures?
