There is also the problem that determining them there is kinda fruitless
- that's the best place to just evaluate the package lists to see what
headers we need.

This is kinda moot, of course b/c this part is disappearing.

Have you looked at yum-HEAD/rpmUtils/updates.py and arch.py?

That's where the new arch stuff is and I think the biarch support there
is A LOT more exacting.
