Package: amprolla
Version: chimaera
Severity: normal

It was reported on #devuan that "apt-file search" does not find some files
while it finds others. The files in question were in arch:all packages.
apt-file makes apt-get also fetch Contents-* and apt-get skips Contents-all
on chimaera.

It was also reported that the same works fine in beowulf and bullseye.

After further checking, beowulf's and chimaera's InRelease does not have all
in the arch list while bullseye has it.

It looks like all is skipped in lib/release.py lines 69 and 70, but it is not
clear what will be the consequences if this gets changed.
