Correct. Compared with not working at all on x86_64 and working by
accident on i386, I think this is the lesser of two evils.
Note that most of the packages in question install binaries anyway, so
they're already not parallel-installable. I don't think anyone has a
need for having both a 32 bit and 64 bit version of flumotion or twisted
running.
