There are probably other reasons for the package to be arch dependent.
First which comes to my mind is that somebody forgot to specify
BuildArch: noarch.

Otherwise interesting number. I'd say this is top estimate of number of
affected packages, since it probably suffers the same issue as mine
query, i.e. there are the same source packages, with different versions,
hence they are not filtered out as duplicates.
