Little endian /usr/share/locale/* files in epiphany-browser-data

[Fabian Greffrath]

Hi Joss et al.,

I have all epiphany-browser-* packages installed on an i386 system.

Running the 'file' command on 
'/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/epiphany.mo' reveals a "GNU message 
catalog (little endian), revision 0, 920 messages".

The 'little endian' part is fine, since this is an i386 system. But 
the file is content of the epiphany-browser-data package which is 
supposed to hold the architecture-independent data files for 
epiphany-browser. Since this package is also a dependency of 
epiphany-browser on powerpc (i.e. big endian), how is it possible this 
combination works resp. does it relly work on powerpc?

I am asking because I am currently working on the audacity package and 
would like to split out the content of /usr/share into an arch:all 
audacity-data package, when I just encountered this issue.

Cheers,
Fabian
