I assume you found in the linux-audit mailing list the OLD(!!)
patch which I sent at November 2013 timeframe:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2013-November/msg00125.html
I've replied to that mail with the *new patch* which is exactly the same
as the one for which I opened this debian bug report.
The only reason why you don't see this "new" patch is, that I'm not (yet)
a subscriber to the linux-audit mailing list and that my new mail hasn't
been approved yet. That's why it doesn't show up on the mailing list yet.
I sent the new patch an hour or so before I opened this debian bug report.
So, please be patient until the list moderator approves my new mail to show up...
Furthermore, as you can see if you compare those two patches, the main
difference is that I made hppa a "optional" arch, which means it will only
be compiled in when it is selected by "configure".
I assume this was one of the reasons why the linux-audit developers didn't
cared much about my initial patch..

The problem is, that the audit package is one of the major packages
on which most other packages directly or indirectly depend on.
Just look at the graph (magenta line) at http://buildd.debian-ports.org/stats/
The patch which I proposed here is needed for hppa...
