Yes. However I do think it is more work. As in a nutshell all the
meta source package contains is a list of flavours. These are clearly
architecture specific. So although they usually don't change much,
it seems like it would be more work to try and cobine all the flavours
for all the architectures into a single package.
That said, I am comfortable with a single package for all architectures
if that is what other people want.
