To make sure I understand this ...

For packages with a large mix of arch all Python and arch any extensions, they 
could be split into two binaries:

1.  python{3}-foo which is arch all and follows the current naming convention 
of foo being the name you import.  It would depend on the arch any python-foo-
ext package.

2.  python{3}-foo-ext which is arch any and Suggests/Recommends (not sure 
which) python{3}-foo.

Is that right?

How would this work for packages where the extension is not built on all 
architectures?
