Is this problem due to mirror that in fact don't mirror all, or due to
choose-mirror that bugs if no Archive-architecture is provided ?

The mirrors I added with no Archive-architecture field don't exclude any
architecture (at least at the submission), it was on purpose.

According to me, it allows the list to be closer to the reality (unless
we review the whole list of mirrors each time a new architcture is added
..)

BTW, what about applying the script used in August to update the
Archive-architecture field ?
