That appears to be something different. Trying the same thing with
the raspbian.raspberrypi.org site the OP is using in their
sources.list as they posted earlier:

$ wget http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/dists/trixie/mai
/binary-armhf/Packages.xz
[snip]
$ xz -d Packages.xz
$ grep 'Package: coreutils' Packages
Package: coreutils

(yes I know you can use pipes there too, I don't like wasting data
and time if I want to run another grep)

They don't seem to have 64bit packages at raspbian.raspberrypi.org,
so I guess 64bit installs use "archive" or something else.
