I also ran pkglint over the manifests, giving

Should we be reporting the variant.arch errors for these?  I know they're
group packages, so perhaps this lint check needs to be changed only
complain if the package delivers actions other than 'set' and 'depend'.

If the package is identical across all instances of a variant, why should
that variant be declared?  I'm willing to put those in, but it seems a
little odd.

I believe Bart has mentioned to me before that a package doesn't have to declare its variants. Certainly, I don't believe the solver cares in this scenario.
