Hi Julian,

for architecture-dependant packages, a binary rebuild is sufficient.  For
arch-independant packages, this facility is not available.  In addition, with
the Freeze, many of us had refrained from updating their packages, so this need
for rebuilds is a good opportunity for update now that the relase is getting
near.

Cheers,
