^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

APT throws away everything that is not built for it's native arch or
'all'. This is required to handle mixed arch environments like
project/experimental.

You will have to compile a custom version of apt that can recognize
pentium as a valid arch. The relevent code is in pkgcachegen.cc

The 0.1.x series will not support your new architecture scheme, that will
have to be in the 0.2 series once it has been accepted.
