Yes. docs etc. > shareable across all archs but only for one OS Yes, makedev for example. > shareable across all OS's but only for on arch We have yet to find an example for this, though. > different on each arch/OS pair Yes. Before people jump on this thread and start to discuss, go over to debian-policy and read the thread "smarter way to differentiate architecture needed" I started a while ago, where this is discussed among the Debian folks. As soon as I have a list of affected packages, Guy Major will start to implement this feature (if the list is big enough). For future grow, I will try to convince Guy that we need it. debian-policy is available through the normal debian archives on the web. Posting allowed w/o subscription. Thanks.
