It's often the other way round: whatever-bin depends on
whatever-data. YMMV, but all the examples that come to my mind fast are
like this:
tetex-bin (arch: any) depends on tetex-base (arch: all)
xserver-common (arch: any¹) depends on xfree86-common (arch: all)
tuxracer (arch: any¹) depends on tuxracer-data (arch: all)
wmaker (arch: any¹) depends on wmaker-data (arch: all)
