Shouldn't /usr/share part of the packages be identical, much the same
way as noarch packages must be identical?

I think I am going to implement much stricter checking for both noarch
packages and /usr/share part of arch packages.  Also, I am going to
implement new "force-noarch" check which will require some packages
be noarch (by the principle of "extensional equality").

If you don't like it, now is the right time to have your say.
