"all" is indeed somewhat of a special case, but it sits along side another architecture, rather than being part of it; the packages aren't related to the machine's architecture and exist in a binary-all section of the ftp archive alongside binary-i386 etc. However you view architecture "all" packages, the output in this case is being produced by dak, the software managing the Debian ftp archive, so I'm reassigning the bug there. When you request that a lookup be made for a specific architecture, rmadison simply passes the value to a copy of madison.php (in this case running on qa.debian.org) which runs "dak ls" and returns the output.
