Yeah, the problem is manpower and, then, we are thinking in cases like
wallpapers, changes in the installation of some files (that are not arch
specific)... But, how to indicate a concrete package can be handled in
this special "noarch" way? It's easy for some cases like I posted, but
there are others that are more difficult to handle (perl modules for
example?)

If we could agree on the kind of packages we could handle in this way
(stabilizing for all arches) would be nice
