Thanks for spotting this!

Hrm. I played around with these first and they didn't seem sufficient
enough.
OTOH I can have apt downloading package lists for more than one
architecture while dpkg still doesn't accept installing packages from
foreign architectures, so no package could be broken by just
downloaded package lists.
So I guess your suggestion indeed should be sufficient enough (and
also way more performant as currently all available architectures are
checked).

Good idea. :-)
Thanks!
