Ok, I can remove that check, but it was one that was called out in the
list of checks for pkglint - 

13. Variants
------------
* if variant tags present, matching variant descriptions exist
  and are correctly specified
* All packages contain a variant.arch tag

I can drop these if needs be, but would just like to double-check that
it's not needed.  This particular entry in the list of pkglint checks
came from http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=13536
perhaps I've misinterpreted it?

        cheers,
                        tim
