Personally, I like Redhat's dir structure.... TL's is a modified version
of it.  Our TLJ version is the best variant, I think, but not as
applicable here.  I propose it should be like:

/../tlug/
	 i386/
	      tar-gz
	      rpm/
		  SRPMS
		  RPMS
	      deb
	 alpha/
	       tar-gz
               rpm/
	           SRPMS
		   RPMS
	       deb
	 sparc/ 
		...
	 m68k/
		...
	 ppc/
		...

etc..

of course, don't put irrelevant dirs in - ie, if there's no sparc port for
Debian, don't put a /deb dir under sparc...
