more than one arch in config tree?

[Steffen Grunewald]

Hi,

anybody out there using the same configuration tree to populate more
than one architecture? I'd like to know how you fixed (or worked around)
the feature of dpkg-scanpackages to skip an older xyz_*_i386.deb package 
when a xyz_*_alpha.deb package with a higher version number is
available.
I know about the -arch flag to dpkg-scanpackages, but Packages.gz is a
pretty unique file name, isn't it? I cannot imagine a way to have one
for I386, one for X86_64, one for Alpha... It's troublesome enough to
keep several nfsroot's up-to-date (or working at least).

Any suggestions are welcome. (I'm trying to fix this in DEFAULT/S01
which might be the proper place to do, but i'm not sure yet.)

Cheers,
 Steffen
