Moving this to its own file is fine in principle, but it has duplicated a few arrays of field values. After this patch there would be:
scripts/makepkg.sh.in: splitpkg_overrides=(...
scripts/libmakepkg/lint_pkgbuild/variable.sh.in: scripts/libmakepkg/lint_pkgbuild/arch_specific.sh.in: local array=(... local arch_array=(... local string=(...
scripts/libmakepkg/lint_pkgbuild/package_function_variable.sh.in: local no_package=(...
This will be annoying to update for any new fields or other changes.
The properties of each field we are trying to capture are: 1) is an array/string 2) can be architecture specific 3) overridable in package function
Can we store this in one file in a readily extendable fashion somewhere?

Good point. There was already a TODO on the fields, maybe it's finally time to act on it. I'm not too familiar with bash to really know a better way to structure it. Would just moving the arrays to a different file and sourcing be fine? util/pkgbuild.sh perhaps?
Yes, this can be moved to another file and just be declared as arrays. I would suggest making sure that the names are fairly unique (and readonly) to avoid accidentally clobbering.
This feels like semantics that we're overlaying on top of shell, so my vote is for util/schema.sh.
For names, I suggest:
pkgbuild_array_variable pkgbuild_string_variable pkgbuild_arch_override_variable pkgbuild_package_override_variable
Kind of long, but won't get clobbered.

Ending a variable name with 'variable' seems weird to me. Also I prefer arrays to be plural.
So I'd prefer 'pkgbuild_array_variables' or even better `pkgbuild_arrarys`. But then of course the shorter name is more risky.
Still I'd put my vote on:
pkgbuild_arrays pkgbuild_strings pkgbuild_arch_overrides pkgbuild_package_overrides
Also seems as these are pretty much constants should they be in all caps? Or is that not done in bash?
All caps vars are usually reserved for environment vars (e.g. SHELL, PAGER, LESS). You might capitalize PKGBUILD (as the prefix), but capitalizing the whole thing is unnecessary.
Again, I'm going to harp on the fact that this feels like schema, so paint it blue:
pkgbuild_schema_arrays pkgbuild_schema_strings pkgbuild_schema_arch_overrides pkgbuild_schema_package_overrides
dR
I still like mine more, but I think `pkgbuild_schema_arrays` is fine. I prefer it to 'variable'.
