The missing architecture was my immediate thought as well, since for a
moment I thought ftp-master might need it, but then I realized that the
override settings are arch: all. So I'm ambivalent.
I will mention that if you wanted to add the architecture, you could just
s/ +/,/g on the architecture list and then you'd get something that should
be reasonably easy to parse and would still use spaces to separate from
other fields, since the architecture list isn't too complex in syntax
other than being a list.
