Further investigation on my part has me convinced that ExcludeArch is still
the proper way to go.  Neither PPC, Sparc or s390 (of any flavor) provide
or support ACPI in any meaningful way.  It's just simply not the way these
systems work on boot.  Therefore, providing support for them in this package
is essentially meaningless; you wouldn't be able to use any of the results
produced.

The package has been modified accordingly (with an explanation added) and will
be in the -2 version to be posted later today.
