Bug#962524: apt: history.log contains architecture-specific entries for architecture-all packages

Thanks for the information, I understand, that this is not a bug and already
found a workaround.
Is there some documentation about the difference between package architecture
and version architecture?

What I still miss to understand: Implementation details aside, would there be
any disadvantage, if apt used the version architecture for foo:all instead of
the package architecture in history.log?
In my (obviously incomplete) understanding the user could always conclude from
"all" that they can use any architecture, but cannot conclude from "amd64"
whether the package is architecture-independent.

Kind regards
Patrick
