+  * conf/04-rpmbuild-format-unpackaged-filelist.conf - Davide Madrisan
+    Split the translation rules for the unpackaged files into a common block
+    ('format_unpackaged_file_list_common') and an architecture-specific file
+    per supported architecture (currently 'i586' and 'x86_64').

+    when running on the x86_64 architecture.
