I've since discovered that packages that have architecture "all" (such
as the X11 fonts) are not being linked to the "sid" distributions
(including Alpha). This basically means that at this time, you can't
use the ftp site to install or upgrade (and my diff to show which
packages don't exist in Alpha shows way too many packages).
I've sent Guy a note to look into this.
