quinn-diff is a program (actually available as a .deb) that takes files from the archive (Packages for your own arch and generic Sources) files and generates a list (diff) of the packages for your arch that are out of date with respect to the sources present in the distribution. Is is how the autobuilders know what they need to build. We have a central server that generates these files for all archs, so the individual build daemons don't each have to bother with it. But this server is generating the diff for main only, so our daemons are not updating contrib or non-free packages. -- John
