This means that we are duplicating that 93 Mbytes of files across all
architectures, and over 2 packages per architecture.  All you need to do is
make a single subpackage, say openmms-data, that is noarch, contains all this
data, and is a dependency of both the main package and python-mms, and all that
duplication will go away.  It really is worth doing.  Please consider it.
