According to the info below, Debian removes Contents-i386.gz from **CD- ROMs** to save space.
I'm guessing some mirrors don't generate Contents-ARCH.gz to save space or because they're lazy. ==> Also, I read on some tab I closed before I realized what I was doing that since DIST-updates and DIST-security provide the same files as the "original" repository, it makes no sense to have double Contents-ARCH.gz . So I guess it's a "mark this bug as Invalid", I suppose?
