I might have been too terse: I actually meant the 'sed' command. APT 
will consider all architectures configured with dpkg. The [arch=...] 
syntax is only needed if you ever need to configure different mirrors 
per architecture. This should not be necessary unless you regular mirror 
does not carry one of your architectures (e.g. space constraints, 
unreleased architecture, etc.)

Hope this explains,
Andrei
