Thanks! I was a bit unsure what's the best approach with an unofficial port.
I'll do one more clean install, either as above or with the keyring package
manual download option Adrian Davey mentioned.

On my part it's more nice-to-have than a requirement.

Again, really nice that these builds are available. If things seem stable I will
reinstall two additional squeeze (sparc) hosts as sparc64. And naturally enable 
popcon to support the effort towards an official port status.
