Kernel meta packages are built for wrong architectures.

SRU Justification

Impact: extraneous meta packages make CDROM/DVD creation difficult because of uninstallable packages.

 Feb 15 15:01:22 <cjwatson> linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-server | 2.6.32.28.32 | lucid-updates | amd64, i386
 Feb 15 15:01:29 <cjwatson> $ rmadison -s lucid-updates linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.34-2.6.32-28-server
 Feb 15 15:01:32 <cjwatson> linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.34-2.6.32-28-server | 2.6.32-28.27 | lucid-updates | amd64
 Feb 15 15:01:57 <cjwatson> there we see a difference, the underlying -server package is only built for amd64
 Feb 15 15:02:13 <cjwatson> similar situation for generic-pae
 Feb 15 15:02:23 <cjwatson> $ rmadison -s lucid-updates linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic-pae
 Feb 15 15:02:23 <cjwatson> linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic-pae | 2.6.32.28.32 | lucid-updates | amd64, i386
 Feb 15 15:02:23 <cjwatson> $ rmadison -s lucid-updates linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.34-2.6.32-28-generic-pae
 Feb 15 15:02:24 <cjwatson> linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.34-2.6.32-28-generic-pae | 2.6.32-28.27 | lucid-updates | i386
 Feb 15 15:02:43 <cjwatson> so I diagnose the problem here as being that the metapackages are just built for architectures where they shouldn't be
 Feb 15 15:03:19 <cjwatson> this is essentially harmless - the metapackages (linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-server/i386 and linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic-pae/amd64) are uninstallable on those architectures, but they're actually just supposed to be absent
 Feb 15 15:03:52 <cjwatson> annoying and certainly a bug but not really a big deal, I think

No fix required for Natty.
