Would there be enough packages using each of these tags to be worth
the upkeep?  The silo source-package already has metadata for
"Architecture: sparc". 

It seems to me that most arch-targeted packages aren't going to be
things like lilo, they're going to be development packages for
PalmOS and the like.  I don't know whether that's m68k or arm, but
I'm pretty sure it's hardware::embedded.

(Boot-managers like lilo would be entitled to an admin::foreign-os
tag, if that existed; the traditional "Section: otherosfs" still has
no equivalent in debtags...)
