Binary packages are only uploaded for one archicteture, in our case
AMD64.
For the other architectures buildds are used to create them for us.
It's a *build* depency and that's why it's not listed on the binary
grub-pc or grub-common package.
Robert used the old version of unifont-bin to create the 24-6 upload,
whereas the i386 buildd had already used the new one.

But this is not the topic of this report so if you still have questions
to that better ask on debian-user list or some other place.

Yes and that's why this bug is now tagged pending.
