I'm afraid I've never been able to find where Wizards talks about exactly how they've broken down their current sets. If your Google Fu is better than mine, I'd love to see that information. That would also give us a better picture of what it is you're looking for.

"We will also be replacing one common card in each booster pack with a basic land card. The expected composition of a booster pack will now be 1 rare, 3 uncommons, 10 commons, 1 basic land, and 1 tip card or token (with the mythic rare replacing the rare in approximately 1 out of every 8 packs)."

That is the level of detail I was hoping for. It's even more important* the more rarities you add.

*to me obviously. I can't speak for everyone :).
