If master and slave are on different hosts and have different
architectures ... they will use different Packages files.
Until now everything was hardcoded multiple times in the URLs.

That's my objection against using dpkg --print-architecture, all the
other defaults are fine.

Well, I could add a get_arch method that uses dpkg --print-architecture
if master-host == localhost
