If we intend to support multiple architecture and also /usr/share, we
need this so that you don't have to reinstall doc,info and manpages for
every architecture, when they are already installed. You install
everything for the first architecture, and then just the arch-dependent
stuff for the rest.
However, it they must also be ignored on a remove/purge also.
