Obviously I didn't explain clearly enough. :)

I can leave it unmodified and it will work fine. However, I then have to
make it a regular, archified package with an i586 version and an x86_64
version. This is silly because the app itself is not archified - it's
all pure Python. But if I want to make it a noarch package - which is
what you're supposed to do with noarch code - I have to make the
modifications, otherwise if it happened to get built on an x86-64
buildhost the files would go to /usr/lib64 and the package would be
unusable on an i586 machine.

Is that clearer? :)
