Excellent catch!

This seems to be a defect in the code which determines the package 
name from the output of 'basename'. Perhaps it wouldn't be too hard to 
strip optional :arch from the end, for example via some sed script.

Unfortunately I am not sure about when I'd be able to try to fix this, 
so if you feel like it, please go ahead. Thanks!
