The ABS prototypes are out of date and the Wiki recommends you not use
them. See also the bugtracker: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34485

Though I will acknowledge that my statement was a matter of personal

*for architecture-independent modules in the main repos*. So there is no
formal consensus which way to do it, though naturally I cannont be
expected to support the side I disagree with. :D
