So the package is architecture: all, but uses different configuration files for different architectures? What do you do if you don't have a configuration file for a particular architecture? If this is the situation, it might make more sense to create an architecture-dependent package containing the configuration, to use the normal mechanisms for controlling which architectures are supported. -- - mdz
