Package: apt
Version: 0.7.11
Severity: minor
distribution may also contain a variable, $(ARCH) which expands to the
Debian architecture (i386, m68k, powerpc, ...) used on the system. This
permits architecture-independent sources.list files to be used. In
general this is only of interest when specifying an exact path, APT
will automatically generate a URI with the current architecture
otherwise.
This reads as if only the distributon field can include $(ARCH), but
in fact you can use it in the hostname field too and it's expanded there too.
Which would be handy if we had a $(ARCH).mirrors.debian.net type thing. I
noticed this when such a setup was being discussed on debian-mirrors.
