So we have two problems at hand: * 9.0 and 9.1 need the "old" tree -> 9.0 ist discontinued, 9.1 will be discontinued in june. That means this part of the tree can go and will be solved automatically by time. * i386 as a prefix for i386, x86_64 and ppc is confusing. This can be solved with a symlink (e.g. "generic" -> "i386").
