I used this function:

rmi686() {
  n=$(echo $1 | sed 's|-i686||')
  if [ ! -e $n ]; then
    mv $1 $n
  else
    echo "$n alread exists."
  fi
}


But it got inconvenient, so I changed extrapkg:

+++ /usr/bin/extrapkg	2007-05-08 23:08:57.000000000 +0200
@@ -10,7 +10,9 @@
 fi

 source PKGBUILD
+pkg3file=${pkgname}-${pkgver}-${pkgrel}-i686.pkg.tar.gz
 pkgfile=${pkgname}-${pkgver}-${pkgrel}.pkg.tar.gz
+[ -f $pkg3file ] && mv $pkg3file $pkgfile

 if [ ! -f $pkgfile ]; then
 	pkgfile=$PKGDEST/$pkgfile

Works better IMO and doesn't add an extra step to package management.
Maybe we should add a similar workaround in devtools for now, as all
devs and TUs use it.
