Use full name (i.e. architecture) with ?name sort policy
A package's full name includes the architecture, so consider

Problem was aptitude considering multi-arch packages to be the same.
You would get varying results for the status based upon which package it

u).
Also, there are
Same here, for example searching for libapr gives the following (wrong results,
libapr1 is installed):
# aptitude search libapr
p libapr1- Apache
Portable Runtime Library
p libapr1-dbg
