Just don't tell them you haven't got one, don't state PowerPC
anywhere, just state that you have good application that runs great
on every mac, including intel mac.
And when UB builds are available, put a logo on you site, and keep
the text the same. Not many people who know how to find out if the
app is universal.
If someone asks you if you have a universal binary, just say your app
runs great on intel mac, easy. And you are not lying unless you have
altivec code.
This is not lying.

I know little about this but I have come across this:
"The Intel Macs will include a technology called Rosetta, which
allows
programs written to run on Macs with a PowerPC processor to run on a
Mac with an Intel processor. The process is not like running Classic,
but will be completely transparent to users--you just double-click
on a
PowerPC program and it runs. Simple as that!"
If true there is not an issue here.

It is an issue because some customers will expect Universal Binary
apps if they have an Intel Mac. If you can't offer one because RB
doesn't produce them, but a competitor does offer one, then you
will likely lose sales to such customers.
It's much like the 68K -> PPC transition a decade ago. Yes, you
could run 68K apps under emulation. Most stuff worked fine, just
slower. But there still was the perception that a native PPC app
was "better". And in marketing, perception is everything.
