The usual reason to have such a split is that one package is
architecture-dependent, and the other is architecture-independent.
When arch-indep data is split out, this conserves space on mirrors
(the same stuff doesn't get repeated into a dozen arch-dep packages).
In this particular case, the split sounds like an overkill.
wmakerconf is 320k, and wmakerconf-data is 50k.
