+     name (without architecture qualification even if foreign), old version,
+     direction of version change (&lt; for upgrades, &gt; for downgrades, = for
+     no change), new version, action. The version fields are "-" for no version
+     at all (for example when installing a package for the first time; no
+     version is treated as earlier than any real version, so that is an
+     upgrade, indicated as <literal>- &lt; 1.23.4</literal>). The action field
+     is "**CONFIGURE**" if the package is being configured, "**REMOVE**" if it
+     is being removed, or the filename of a .deb file if it is being
+     unpacked.</para>
+
+     <para>In Version 3 after each version field follows the architecture
+     of this version, which is "-" if there is no version, and a field showing
+     the MultiArch type "same", "foreign", "allowed" or "none". Note that "none"
+     is an incorrect typename which is just kept to remain compatible, it
+     should be read as "no" and users are encouraged to support both.</para>

-   <refsect2><title>dpkg trigger usage (and related options)</title>
-     <para>APT can call &dpkg; in such a way as to let it make aggressive use of triggers over
-     multiple calls of &dpkg;. Without further options &dpkg; will use triggers once each time it runs.
-     Activating these options can therefore decrease the time needed to perform the
-     install or upgrade. Note that it is intended to activate these options per default in the
-     future, but as it drastically changes the way APT calls &dpkg; it needs a lot more testing.
-     <emphasis>These options are therefore currently experimental and should not be used in
-     production environments.</emphasis> It also breaks progress reporting such that all front-ends will
-     currently stay around half (or more) of the time in the 100% state while it actually configures
-     all packages.</para>
-     <para>Note that it is not guaranteed that APT will support these options or that these options will
-     not cause (big) trouble in the future. If you have understand the current risks and problems with
-     these options, but are brave enough to help testing them, create a new configuration file and test a
-     combination of options. Please report any bugs, problems and improvements you encounter and make sure
-     to note which options you have used in your reports. Asking &dpkg; for help could also be useful for
-     debugging proposes, see e.g. <command>dpkg --audit</command>. A defensive option combination would be

-       package can be unpacked (Pre-Depends), and let the rest be configured
-       by &dpkg; with a call generated by the ConfigurePending option (see

-       anything, and totally relies on &dpkg; for configuration (which at the
-       moment will fail if a Pre-Depends is encountered). Setting this option
