Hmm, you might be right.  cvs-import.sh is what put SOURCE files into the binary
holding place.  If I import it manually it should be fine.  OK, I'll change it
to SOURCE.

Not necessarily.  x86_64 default install pulls in both firefox.i386 and
firefox.x86_64.  This package is installable only on x86_64.

Sure, it is not perfect, but do we have a better option?

Sounds good in theory, but there is actually NO WAY to do so.  Same problem that
there is no way of requiring firefox.i386 specifically because of the versioned
directories that change arbitrarily.
