Fantastic news.  What's the expected turnaround time between building
and having it available in incoming/the main archive?

Is there any prospect for phasing out Architecture: all packages in
binary-foo Packages in favour of binary-all Packages use by apt-get/
aptitude?

I would also have a use of binary-all dist in sbuild-db (an experimental
wanna-build replacement using PostgreSQL 9.0), just for the record.
