I disagree. The package is arch:all because it doesn't contain any
arch-specific files, and it would be installable on all architectures
if its dependencies are also installable on all archs. Listing out all
the archs that pixfrogger can run on (i.e. all non amd64 archs) would
just result in duplication across the archive for no particular
benefit.

The fact that it fails to migrate from proposed to release in Ubuntu
sounds more like an issue with whatever software Ubuntu is using for
testing package migrations.
