Yup, and 'core' CRAN contains at least one Windows-only package: rbugs [ as
I found when working on a script to automagically build Debian packages from
CPAN packages, the script is a modified version of Albrecht's script ]
So apart from moving arch-specific packages into their own little corners [
bad, balkanization ] we could extend the Description file and flag the
architecture restriction there.

I may of course be missing something here, still haven't had the required
caffeine dosage for the day ...
