I'd like to know how things are progressing with this issue. 

My package is still stuck on hppa because of this. It has successfully
built on every other architecture. Even worse, this is the second time
that this situation prevents build-depends from being fulfilled on hppa.

Anyhow, given how hppa is already among the architectures that did not
re-qualify for Etch, I propose that, from now on, hppa be ignored for
deciding whether a package is considered valid for going into Testing.
