When packages switch from arch-dep to arch-indep (arch: all), the old
binaries do not get removed automatically (yet) and need a manual
removal request.
The new arch:all binary package also gets "hidden": dak tries to keep
arch-indep and arch-dep packages in the exported view (Packages index)
at the same version to keep packages installable. The arch-dep packages
often have a `Depends: ${arch-indep} (= ${source:Version})` relationship
that apt would not be able to satisfy otherwise as apt only considers
the newest version by default.
