Problem was aptitude considering multi-arch packages to be the same. You would get varying results for the status based upon which package it encountered first in the search.

Here libc-bin was reported incorrectly:

$ aptitude-0.6.5 search libc-bin$ libc6$
p libc-bin - Embedded GNU C Library: Binaries
i A libc6 - Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries

The full list shows this ok:

$ aptitude search libc-bin$ libc6$
i libc-bin - Embedded GNU C Library: Binaries
p libc-bin:armel - Embedded GNU C Library: Binaries
i libc6 - Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries
i A libc6:armel - Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries
