Thank you for your analysis and your proposal.

I want to understand why passing the same timestamp to all architectures is an
inferior solution to your proposal. I also don't see why it's a problem that a
package might only be rebuilt on some architectures. If only some architectures
of a M-A:same package get a binNMU, then they are not co-installable anyways.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
