Delay between architectures for new package version?



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

A new package version that reportedly contains a fix I need has just hit
unstable - as in, literally less than four hours ago. (I ordinarily
track testing, but I occasionally cherry-pick something from unstable
for specific purposes.)

However, I have the current package version installed for two different
architectures (amd64, which is native, and i386), and one of the updated
packages is updated only for amd64; the i386 package is still at the old
version. As a result, I can't install the updated amd64 package without
removing the i386 one.


Is it expected for there to be a delay between the arrival in unstable
of a new package version for one architecture and the effective arrival
in unstable of the same package version for its other supported
architectures?

If so, any idea how long the delay is likely to be? (Hours, days,
weeks...?)

If not, any idea what the problem could be? I'm thinking that if such a
delay is not expected, I should probably ping the maintainers to see if
they can shed any light on things.
