You can override the error and package arch-independent headers, but
for the checking purposes we decided that a cost of a mistake is less
if you create arch-dependent packages by default. The only downside is
a tiny increase in catalog size (completely dwarfed by other packages
we have). If you make a mistake by creating an arch-independent
package, the costs are much higher, because it will cause weird
compilation problems, draining hours of people's time. For simplicity,
we always create arch-dependent development packages.

If you create arch-independent package, you'll need to add overrides,
that's all. The choice is of course, yours.
