16 I guess there are only a few cases where a package should be keyworded
17 for eg x86, but not for amd64, so these few cases can be handled by
18 p.masks, right?
19
20 So, we can have a single x86 keyword, and a single x86 'parent' profile,
21 and subprofiles for x86(or x86_32), amd64, and x32.
22
23 I guess it's not that simple, but I think that's how the mips profiles work?
