Not needed packages.. files..

Right now foo.x86_64.rpm and foo.i386.rpm can provide
/usr/share/foo/important_arch_neutral_file_such_as_a_manpage

If you remove foo.i386.rpm the shared file will get nuked.

RPM can recognize such overlaps and do the right thing, but some code
which greatly speeds up dependency computation breaks that.
