no it's not that easy. the question is:
what the noarch means?
- it should have to be run on any arch?
or
- it should have to be run _AND_ build on any arch?
this package is a pure java package which is noarch the the result
gstreamer-java-1.0-1.fc10.noarch.rpm can be run on any arch,
BUT as there is a bug in #468831 in     	
java-1.6.0-openjdk on ppc it can't be compiled on ppc.
so if eg. there is a bug in python compiler or in the python interpreter
on ppc then the python packages no longer noarch packages?
