8 This is a good idea; themes, wallpapers, fonts, game-data (stuff that
9 mostly installs into /usr/share) could easily fall in this category. A
10 lot of python modules are arch-independant as well (upstream has been
11 thinking of splitting the install structure to put such things in
12 /usr/share/python2.6/<etc>).

14 Examples of packages:
15 gnome-extra/gnome-games-extra-data
16 x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme
17 kde-base/kdebase-wallpapers
18 games-fps/quake3-data
19 app-text/poppler-data
20 media-fonts/dejavu
