The problems arise when local network configurations mount filesystems.
If, for example, /usr/share is mounted over the network then it is not
possible to have arch-dependant and arch-independant files on it since
some arch-dependant binaries are installed by packages.

It's not a major problem but it should be so easy to fix.
