Yeah, this is all fscked up.  The upstream issue is being
discussed here:

http://lists.opensuse.org/vhostmd/2009-10/msg00007.html

Ditto above.  It generates a new tarball each time :-(

OK I get this now.  It's actually a feature of vhostmd that
I wasn't aware of up to now.  As well as using the metrics
disk to export data, it can also export it through xenstore.

Unfortunately the current code doesn't allow that to be
configured out at compile time (and thus always requires
the Xenstore client library to be available).

I think the best thing here is to add back the
ExclusiveArch temporarily until I can get it fixed
upstream.
