But it is impossible not to have such dependencies. Every noarch Perl
and Python module is going to require Perl or Python. If I package up
nothing more than a simple shell script it's going to require
/bin/sh. And its quite easy to think of ways that noarch packages
might depend on some arch-specific package that won't build on 64-bit
or PPC or whatever.
