Thanks for applying the patches to devtools.

I have a question. Currently, sub packages can't have a different 
architecture field than the main package. Are there plans to add this 
possibility in the future? This could come in handy with packages that 
have huge data files that are architecture independent and can be split 
into a sub package with arch=('any').

I'm mainly asking because if the above gets implemented, commitpkg will 
need to be slightly modified in order to be able to locate -any sub 
packages (and I have a feeling that it was able to do this before my 
patches were applied :d ).
