This was due to a bug from an old dpkg-source, just rebuilding the source package will fix this. regards, guillem

Bug#458108: qa.debian.org: Package's arch list repeated multiple times
Package: qa.debian.org Severity: minor -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Stefano, I have not been able to find another pacakage that exhibits this same behavior in its PTS page, but I am proceeding with the bug report. It appears that sometimes the arch listing as repeated several times, as in [0]. My best guess at a cause is that it happens when a source package produces multiple binary packages and *all* the binary packages contain the exact same architecture list (and that list is not any or all). For example, many libraries have a corresponding -doc package which is architecture all, so none of the other libraries I have looked at have had this problem. I apologize for not being able to find another example of this problem.
