I understand the NAK since it has runtime dependencies on binary compiled programs like rsync which are architecture dependent
due to different ISA and so on. However, from another perspective, its a script which is invoking/executing a standard utility
much like its own interpreter say bash or perl whichever it needs and bash, perl etc. are natively compiled binaries. going by this logic
we can really not have allarch package at all. So IMO runtime dependencies
for script based packages should not bar it from being a allarch package. Since, I can still take the same ipk and install it on arm or mips
and it will work as long as they provide its dependencies like rsync perl etc.
