Let's assume for a moment that sarge will be released in a couple of 
months: What about uploading a new Kaffe package with "Architecture: 
i386 powerpc"? It will probably move to testing soon so I hopoe that 
jikes and some other Java packages in main will follow. After Kaffe is 
in testing, we can re-upload the package for all architectures and try 
to fix these problems. This would however mean that the old 1.0.7 
version will be lost for the other architectures. Objections? Better 
suggestions?
