Oh, of course, this is all caveat emptor.  But it's a time saver if you
have a reasonably fast machine of one architecture and some slower archs
of another, if you, the user, claim to know what you're doing. ;-)

Maybe I should add a honking disclaimer.  The default would be to not
preserve cache-files anyway, so presumably that would be safe.

True.  I'll create dependstrees for my different bulk-build machines
once from i386, once from amd64 and once from native and compare the
output to see where it's feasable to move the files over.
