This may sound naive, but while fat binaries would be important if our
distribution mechanism were "one binary package file, works
everywhere", do we actually expect to have users with a single /sw

Fat packages would be a cool experiment, but imho the answer to your
question is no. dpkg already has mechanisms where the platform is
hardcoded in and invisible to the user. apt and friends know the
current dist and look for the correct binaries. Now, cross compiling
fink binaries would be cool too, so ppc can build the x86 packages
too :-) but I guess that would be at least as hard.
