thanks,
[i vote to eliminate -mini, then add back after py2.7 is stable... it seems
unmaintainable (across python version bumps) in a build system]

haven't found a finesse solution, only brute force.
now looking for source of mystery pkg

rpmlint-mini-x86-arm-1.1-1.11

closest in mer git that i can find is:
mer-crosshelpers/rpmlint-mini-x86.git
but don't know what would lead to -arm.
on 1st scan, all files look the same as rpmlint-mini, except for .wrapper?
could this be ifarched back into that pkg to ease maintenance / duplication?
rpmlint-mini-x86 is also (not so obviously) broken by py2.7 (on cobs at
least?), x86-arm also, i assume.

tl;dr is latest comment of https://bugs.merproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169
