Because the packages that used to go in dists/$(dist)/binary-$(arch) are
now all jumbled together in the pool. You can't just exclude by
architecture any more, or indeed by distribution; you've got to parse
Packages files in order to know what you need to mirror, or else you'll
either get far too much or far too little.

Maybe the release of 2.2r3 changed something. Depends what you're trying
to mirror.
