If we are going down that path, the stores responsibilty must be to 
split up the
fat package and only deliver the parts required for the specific client.

Why should a armhf 15.04 device download binaries for i386 14.10 and 
i386 15.04.
That is a waste of bandwith AND space on the end users device....

Also packaging a app like that is really not easy even with UI support.
