Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt-file
As seen in bug 179420, hardy, gutsy-proposed, and also gutsy-backports and gutsy-security lack any Contents-i386.gz file.
While arguably you could expect most of the time that the -proposed updates will probably contain exactly the same files as the packages they replace in the stable baseline distribution, this is not always necessarily so; and furthermore, a nasty side effect is observed in bug 176753.
For these reasons, it would seem like a good practice to provide a Contents-ARCH.gz file for all official repositories.

Assigning to ubuntu-archive.
Additionally, is there some documentation about how and when those Contents files get generated? I've seen that there are now files available for hardy, while during gutsy development there weren't any.
