They're stored in /tmp/archweb_update.log and emailed to me once a
day. This is all done in the cron script located at
/etc/cron.hourly/update_web_db.sh

Looking at it, I noticed lots of this:

..... lots and lots of "Removing package" lines ....
I wonder a) why those were removed and b) if that is related to the
x86_64 orphaning
