I read that number somewhere. I did just find the current answer (at 
least for the i86 arch).

One of my stable boxes:
keith at woody:~$ apt-cache stats
Total Package Names : 11166 (447k)
   Normal Packages: 8896
   Pure Virtual Packages: 225
   Single Virtual Packages: 368
   Mixed Virtual Packages: 114
   Missing: 1563
Total Distinct Versions: 9702 (466k)

One of my testing boxes:
keith at skua:~$ apt-cache stats
Total Package Names : 18143 (726k)
   Normal Packages: 14168
   Pure Virtual Packages: 243
   Single Virtual Packages: 824
   Mixed Virtual Packages: 149
   Missing: 2759
Total Distinct Versions: 14383 (690k)

My unstable laptop:
keith at r31:~$ apt-cache stats
Total Package Names : 20569 (823k)
   Normal Packages: 15806
   Pure Virtual Packages: 287
   Single Virtual Packages: 853
   Mixed Virtual Packages: 177
   Missing: 3446
Total Distinct Versions: 16123 (774k)


I'm sure that was more info than anybody wanted :-)

Keith
