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>). |

Examples of packages: |

gnome-extra/gnome-games-extra-data |

x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme |
17 |
kde-base/kdebase-wallpapers |

games-fps/quake3-data |

app-text/poppler-data |
