I disagree both with severity and certainty. First of all, as far as I can tell there's nothing in the policy that would prohibit arch:any package with arch-independent contents. Secondly, there are valid uses cases for arch-specific packages with files only in /usr/share (think of arch-specific Depends line).
In my opinion this should be at most minor/possible.

"set -e" is missing here (as per Policy 4.6). -- Jakub Wilk
