yes. the package actually looks for the tarballs themselves.

as far as the auto-builders go, this is true.
correct me if i am wrong on this: if an upload goes to an architecture,
then the auto-builders will never try to build it on that architecture,
but allow the uploaded version to be used.
in _this_ case, since the -reiserfs kernel is i386 only, and i provide
the pcmcia-modules for that kernel, the auto-builders do not enter in
this equation, under the _current_ rules.

how would an upload of new pcmcia-source trigger the rebuild vs the
kernels, anyway?

yes, but i think some peices are missing :/
