how a universal package/bundle/binary looks on disk

In doing some experiments with building a project for multiple architectures (i.e. universal binary), I had this feeling that something had changed.  Using Xcode 2.2 and the "10.4u" SDK, I built a simple app (using Carbon) for both ppc and i386 architectures.  The resulting application package contained a single executable file ("Unix Executable File (Universal)") inside the "MacOS" directory.

For some reason, I expected the app package to contain two directories for the two different architectures with each directory containing one, arch-specific executable.  Did things ever used to be this way (and, thus, explain my feelings of change)?

It is very possible that my brain done broke and I am mixing things up (i.e. the separation by architecture that happens within the build results directory (e.g. i386 and ppc) has seeped into my thoughts of app packaging which has separation-by-platform (e.g. MacOS, MacOSClassic)).

extra credit: if my brain has done broke, what can be done?
