Everything behind the 'binary' means a different architecture.
i386 is for intel based machines 'alpha' for alpha based ones.
'all' is a placeholder for binaries that are equal on all architectures.
These contain documentationsn (i.e. ascii/ansi texts), Howtos, LDP,
RFC, manpages and even script programs like shell and perl scripts.

If you look inside of binary-$real_architecture, you'll find some
links pointing to ../../binary-all/$section/$file_deb.

So if you're going to produce a cdrom, you'd probably need both
directories.
