Here is the full list of packages which should be made noarch.  Due to
rpm limitations, toplevel packages cannot be made noarch, though (those
are marked with W).

Note that this check does not check if /usr/share parts are identical
(/usr/share parts should be identical by another rule).  To force the
package into noarch, non-/usr/share parts must be exactly the same,
and of course dependencies must be identical, too.
