Hi Thorsten, I've now had chance to try the IPS script used to create fat packages: http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/pkg/gate/src/util/publish/merge.py
It assigns the variant.arch correctly to depend lines that are not applicable to all platforms, so we don't need to specify it in our packages. I also think it would be confusing to create and deliver SUNWscxvm on SPARC at the moment, so I propose to leave my code change unaltered. When it's ready for SPARC, re-enabling the packaging will be trivial. Let me know if you disagree.
