Bug#631103: /usr/bin/apt-get: [multiarch] apt-get update probably shouldn't complain about missing files for non-native arch

[Mike Hommey <mh+reportbug@glandium.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.8.14.1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/apt-get

I added the following to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/multiarch:

APT::Architectures { "amd64"; "i386"; "armel"; };

I have this in my sources.list:

deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ experimental iceweasel-5.0

apt-get update then complains about missing armel metadata on that repo:

W: Failed to fetch http://mozilla.debian.net/dists/experimental/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'iceweasel-5.0/binary-armel/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

The repo doesn't contain anything about armel at all. While I do understand
this can be an important piece of information in some cases, in cases like
this one, it is unnecessarily annoying.
