That's the only layout that would make sense I think (i386 holding
the 'master' copy) right now. But how long before amd64 takes over? :-)
I don't mind the extra "work" but given the relatively small size
and the dynamics of multiple people doing the builds my guess is
we'd have fewer mistakes made if we shoot for the consistency being
separate files for the individual architectures. But I don't feel
strongly enough about it that I can't be convinced I'm wrong. :-)

If that's a reference to the previous message I'll see what I can
come up with. I knew a few of the answers but not all. :-(
