The problem isn't there, it's that we're not used to spending Debian
funds when we need to. This has already been discussed a couple of

We shouldn't rely on sponsors when it comes to small things like one

It'd be nice either way. In the latter case, escher could be made
available as a porting machine, as we're lacking one for alpha anyway.
