package built with MakeMaker: possible i386ism?
I just packages pmtools, which uses MakeMaker, and I noticed MakeMaker has
it install a /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.004/auto/pmtools/.packlist
I notice other packages contain similar files, namely:

The files don't seem to be useful, they contain a list of files in the
package, prefixed with the directory the package was built in.
Are these files useful in any way? Should the be removed?
If no, is the i386 in the paths an i386-ism? (most of the above packages
are arch: all)
