Ah, that's a nice trick.  Checked!  What I did, was after developing
each patch (only) check that x86_64 package didn't get rebuilt.

Checked!  (It changed, of course).

Checked!  -- but here I cheated a bit, I've only checked this before
rebasing.

Thank you (and other reviewers) for all the help!
