So apart from me being reticent to make this change at all (for reasons that 
we've discussed before), there is another issue - allarch.bbclass does more 
than just setting PACKAGE_ARCH, it also disables certain other functionality 
such as debug symbol splitting which is superfluous for these kinds of recipes; 
in my testing when I originally wrote the webmin recipe this significantly 
reduced the time required to build the recipe. We can't just drop this inherit 
without regard to that. (I'm sure the same applies elsewhere, it's just that 
the size of webmin makes the impact significant.)

Cheers,
Paul
