It's a kludge. I can only have a single copy at any one time
which means that you have to copy packages around and hand-edit
distinfo files to get it in the shape you want it. On top of that,
you don't deal with the case when they *are* in fact different.

The approach that should have been taken is the one where each
architecture has its own rpm subdirectory under disfiles. The
number of noarch packages is small. As is the size of possible
duplication. Development of RPM based ports can happen concur-
rently on different architectures without unexpected behaviour
due to having the "wrong" noarch package.
