Doesn't show filelist on amd only packages

[Doug McMahon]

Test case:
go to any focal package page that doesn't offer i386 packages.
amend /filelist to url
Ex.
https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/totem-plugins/filelist

What happens:

Error

No such package in this suite on this architecture.

Conversely go to a package that does build i386, do the same
EX.
https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libavcodec58/filelist

What happens:
shows filelist.

In my opinion such URL (without architecture) makes sense only for packages that are architecture-independent ("all").
Arch-independent packages in the distant past have been built on i386 builders, and now (I guess at least since xenial) are packaged on amd64. I assume that due to this history when omitting the architecture in the URL, the i386 version is displayed. See e.g. https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/totem-plugins/filelist which shows "i386" in the header.
Maybe URLs without architecture should be marked as wrong with some different error message except for arch-independent packages.

Thanks Manfred, that makes sense. Got so used to simply amending to url stopped noticing it 'redirected' to i386.
So editing the url now produces intended result..

Does the link without the architecture pop up somewhere, or did you create it yourself? Because if there is no link pointing there I would suggest that a fix for that isn't really needed.
