I started classifying already based on my previous mail, but I had
inadvertently rebuilt arch:all packages. I've now reinstalled most of
these from sid and I'll update the wiki to reflect these case (1)
packages.

I notice that the Breaks list includes octave-secs1d, which is arch:all
and doesn't look like it needs to be rebuilt. Was this a mistake?
