I'm asking this because I've lost too many hours figuring it out myself, the documentation is missing several important notes and I haven't found any other questions that really relate to this:

How do I prioritize specific package versions for multiple architectures? In particular, I have a number of different packages which I would like to download for multiple architectures, and I would like to prioritize the versions so that if they're not explicitly provided, apt will try to get a version matching my arbitrary requirements (in my case, the current git branch name) and fall back to ourthe develop branch versions.

Eg. I would like to download package my-package for both i386 and amd64 architectures and I would like to pull the latest version that includes my-git-branch-name before falling back to the latest that includes develop.

Priority pinning in apt-preferences with different versions and architectures
