setuptools has its own problems (actually apps often migrate *from*
setuptools *to* autotools as they get more mature).

Our bs produces all arches automatically too (let's not make this a bs
willy-waving contest), of course: the point is not that archified
packages are more work but that noarch packages are more correct. If
there's no reason for a package to be archified, it really shouldn't be.
