Hi,

Apparently:

$ ssh picconi.debian.org ls -l /srv/packages.debian.org/archive/debports/sid/

Includes an old Contents-riscv64.gz (and for what I see, an old
Contents-ia64.gz).

At least I have one case where Contents-riscv64.gz is problematic
because packages.debian.org gets confused about some packages that used
to exist there and not any more causing 404 links.

As far as I know the Contents-riscv64.gz and likely Contents-ia64.gz can
be deleted.

Thanks you,
