nspluginwrapper consists of two parts. I'm not entirely sure what to call them;
I'll settle for 'plugin' (which is the x86_64 plugin which actually runs in your
native firefox) and 'runtime' (which is normally the i386 bit that loads the
actual flash plugin library). 

When you run i386 plugins in x86_64 you'll want the x86_64 'plugin' package and
the i386 'runtime' package. 

There's no reason not to build both 'plugin' and 'runtime' packages for other
architectures too. It wouldn't create an implicit dependency on qemu -- users
would need to do something special to install the
nspluginwrapper-runtime.i386.rpm on their system.
