 It's not needed with the most mirrors and will just break setups where
 amd64 and i386 are not the only archs available.

And this will terribly break users sources.list if they have lines like 
deb http://local.example.com/deb sid main or
deb http://private.example.com/ deb private

Hi,

please stop telling the user to do step 2:
  # sed -i 's/deb\ /deb\ [arch=amd64,i386]\ /g' /etc/apt/sources.list
It's not needed with the most mirrors and will just break setups where
amd64 and i386 are not the only archs available.
