In fact the configuration tools let me do it as soon as i create another
template!
It would be logical if the configuration tool raised a conflict. But in my
case it just complained that the PCI package was an "Hardware Package". But
I can't see where this package is declared as "Hardware", while it seems
that all the hardware specific part is done in the target packages.
The ethernet package has a more logical comportement I think. I can include
it but it complains for conflicts.

Too bad :-)
The reason may be because i386 is not the final target, but rather a
developement target.
A+
