As I recall the source RPM is now built as noarch, and up2date was losing 
its mind trying to figure out how to update {i386,x86_64}.rpm to a 
noarch.rpm, so the name change was the easy way out.

Along the same lines, when I updated FC1 to FC2 on x86_64, I ended up with 
Mozilla 1.4 i386 RPMs, from FC1, “overlayed” with Mozilla 1.6 x86_64 RPMs 
from x86_64.  Messy.
