So in summary, invalid wildcards are mostly produced from either old architectures that are not in the archive
This is likely not a bug. It's almost certainly not a bug for architectures that are still in stable (ia64, s390).
anymore or new architectures that are not in the archive yet
Probably not a bug either, just a maintainer trying to be (overly?) future-proof.
or some creative other cases like "any-armhf" or "disabled".
This is likely a bug.
In my code I counted all debian architectures as "valid" which are listed on packages.debian.net. Is there a better way to retrieve "valid" architectures in this context?
