The announcements relate to the update of a source package, which, when
built, may produce multiple subpackages.
For instance, the hplip announcement yesterday covered hplip, hpijs, and
libsane-hpaio, which are all built at the same time from the same source
package. So it's expected that there would be more packages than
announcements.
