Noarch package depending on an arch-specific package, how to handle it?

Hi,

I'm packaging pymtp, which the new gPodder versions need as a
dependency. The review request is at
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=643199>. It's a python
binding to libmtp done with ctypes. The package in itself is noarch, but
I noticed it won't work, if the 32-bit version of libmtp is installed on
a 64-bit system.

Should I make the pymtp package arch dependent and require the libmtp
package, which matches the arch? Or should I require "libmtp" and trust
yum to install the 64-bit package on x86_64? That wouldn't solve the
case where the system already has the 32-bit libmtp installed, though.
