Hi Julian,
for architecture-dependant packages, a binary rebuild is sufficient. For
arch-independant packages, this facility is not available. In addition, with
the Freeze, many of us had refrained from updating their packages, so this need
for rebuilds is a good opportunity for update now that the relase is getting
near.
