A few questions:

Where do the non arch-labelled changes files come from?
e.g. netpbm_19940301.2-15.changes. Is that just the latest version
uploaded? Checking the contents on my mirror, I see that it's a
changes files for all the architectures other than i386, which I guess
answers my question.

As all the architectures seem to be up to date on the latest version
of each package (netpbm-free_19940301.2-15 and
netpbm-nonfree_19940301.1-8), then why are older versions still
listed? This probably answers my third question:

Is this why there are no install or reject lines for any of the netpbm
packages?

  Getting a SCSI chain working is perfectly simple if you remember that there
  must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one on the
  far end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with a silver-handled
  knife whilst burning *black* candles. --- Anthony DeBoer
