That's kinda the point.  On a multilib system, you will have packages
for multiple architectures.  Without the trailing .arch, when you
reinstall, only the default architecture will be installed.

Here is an example.  I have both 64 bit and 32 bit pulseaudio-libs
because of Skype.

  $ rpm -q --queryformat="%{name}.%{arch}\n" pulseaudio-libs
  pulseaudio-libs.x86_64
  pulseaudio-libs.i686

Without the trailing .arch, I will only get the x86_64 package when
reinstalling from the list.

This will get noarch too!  Just look at your first output, it includes
man-pages.
