It removes the problem but not the need for a wrapper.
The wrapper needs to run
cups \
-o Dir::Etc::sourcelist=/etc/apt/$ARCH/sources.list \
-o Dir::Etc::sourceparts=/etc/apt/$ARCH/sources.list.d \
-o Dir::State=$LISTDIR/$ARCH \
-o Dir::Cache=/var/cache/apt/$ARCH \
-o Apt::Architecture=$ARCH \
update
for each architecture and then mangle the Packages files for
non-native architectures. I hope cups supports all those options and
passing them on the command line.
