We already ship kernel-source unprepared (since 2.6.26-0.rc9.1mnb), so 
it has not really been arch specific for a long time.

So tagging it as noarch matches reality.

And it saves space on the mirrors.

I dropped theese so I didn't have to rename them to *-latest-debug.

and I seriously doubt anyone wants automatic download and install of 
~250MB rpms with a on disk size of ~1TB.

Mageia buildsystem nowdays does not accept upload to debug media unless 
package ends with -debug. And in order to not have to use workarounds
for kernel in bs/upload system I renamed the debug package.
