These sources are:
Architecture: any

These are
Architecture: i386
Architecture: powerpc
So, Brian, this is not good example against above, though.
I do not know about real story but ...
1. "unstable" is candidate for "testing"
2. to become "testing", it has to compile for all "Architecture"s.
3. plex86 and yaboot does compile for all "Architecture"s since they are
not "any".
That's my observation.... I am not quite sure.
