Hi,


I noticed that some -lang packages contain noarch data and hence should 
be produced as such, to reduce number of packages in the rpm metadata, 
as well as the space on DVD. For example:

-rw-r--r-- 1 455 5200 597700 Sep 23 01:07 /lnk/103/i586/mc-lang-4.6.1-140.i586.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 455 5200 597820 Sep 26 02:39 /lnk/103/ppc/mc-lang-4.6.1-141.ppc.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 455 5200 597691 Sep 23 01:15 /lnk/103/x86_64/mc-lang-4.6.1-140.x86_64.rpm

making the -lang package be built as noarch is an exercise left to the 
implementor. Running `lbuild-10.3 --target=noarch mc.spec` is a 
workaround, but of course it would be nicer if BuildArch: noarch in a 
subpackage in a specfile would only cause the subpackage to be noarch.
