I'd really like to start discussion again on stop calling these 
things 'noarch' when they aren't 'noarch'.  If your package doesn't work on 
other arches, it can't be noarch.  It either needs to no-op on other arches, 
or not be noarch.  I'm really tired of having to play games with digging at a 
sourcerpm to figure out what arches a package is suitable for, since this 
information isn't carried forward in the resultant rpm.  We either need to 
fix rpm so that this information is carried forward, or just stop calling 
these things noarch.
