I don't; at present I simply don't care about them and (in my private
trees) suppress their installation.

Attached (applies cleanly only with the other patches applied before).
I don't have an up-to-date path for the unstable tree at hand.

arguments against it:
- it is inconsistent with how native i386/x86-64 work
- it pointlessly clutters the tree root with additional files
